Woodpecker Cider

Brewed by Bulmers Cider (S&N, Heineken)
Style: Cider
Hereford, England

(Bottle 27,5 cl) Reddish orangey golden - kinda weird colour - with a white head that collapses quite fast. Distinct aroma of sour apples, but in the flavour not much apple is left. Dry, not much sweetness is found here and not much acidity either. It has an authentic cider feel to it, just hasn’t much flavour. 230905

27.5 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a lacing white head. Light spiced apple citric aroma. Sweet initially with a light apple-juice flavour. Holds a slight aspertam like note into the finish. Ends a bit dry-sticky.

Tap, Dronning Louise, Esbjerg. It is yellow-golden and the aroma has notes of sweetness and apple. The flavour is rather sweet with notes of sweet apples with a low acidity. It is uncomplicated and easy to drink, and so different from other mass-produced ciders.

Bottle bought in south western Denmark (Lolland) . Pale golden colour with a very short lasting white fizzy head. The aroma of sweet bit sour apples. Sparkling mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet with apples, some sourness and some fruitiness. Sweetish apple finish.

Greenish extremely pale crystal clear yellow. Light apple aroma, one-dimensional considering the absence of any farmy notes. Little acidity, lots of sweetness. Okay mouthfeel with soft carbonation and an easy going light-medium body. Not very balanced. Industrial and unappealing example.

A fruiend brought a 3l bottle of this over a while ago and was soo disgusted he had to go buy something else, serves him right for buying so cheap! Aroma is sweaty, perhaps some apples flavouriong of some sort, but generally rubbish. Taste is similar, such an uninspiring drink it seems unbealiveable they still sell it.

Rating #2200... Bottle... Clear, very light yellow cider with a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. Mild aroma aroma of a sliced apple that has been neglected for about half an hour. A whisper of cinnamon. Light, refreshing flavor of watered down apple juice. Not overly sweet. Light to medium-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and stale carbonation. Subtle, fruity finish... lightly sweet and medium dry.
