Very eeasy to drink. Sweet but not sickly so. It is a little flat in the bottle but on tap it is fantastic. Nice color and sent.

What's not to love about this wonderful cider? This is the only alcoholic beverage that makes me giddy and not depressed, after drinking a few. Soft feel in the mouth. Flavor modulates gently and pleasantly. The more attention you pay, the more flavors to admire. Appearance is a pretty, pale gold, though rather flat. Best enjoyed outdoors where the sun may dance along in the glass. I can't say enough good about Woodpecker. Must be experienced on tap. Bottled does not do it justice.

Probably the sweetest english cider I’ve ever had. Very similar to a Woodchuck Amber with just a bit more aftertaste. Probably the most readily available cider in bars I think I’ve ever found.

I got hooked on this stuff out of a tap, and obviously that's better than the bottled stuff. Crisp taste, not overpowering and pretty refreshing. It's not high in alcohol and isn't cheap so its more of a casual drink than a six-pack pounder.

Bulmers woodpecker. I’m overexcited about this cider. Not only do I like cider but this is the first imported bottle. Up till now I have only drank the US ciders that are known to be very sweet. Wood pecker 12 oz green bottle with a twist off cap. I am quite apprehensive about this bottle because last night when I brought it in it had some ice crystals in it. Beautiful cap that says twist off but I just ripped my fingers up on it. Pop the lid with an opener and you get a sour whiff but pleasant. Nice fizz into the glass but no head. I can’t even remember the color of the fizz. Very pale yellow and crystal clear. Some bubble here and there but none streaming. It has a very enjoyable sour and sweet apple flavor during the initial taste surprise. No presence of alcohol noted whatsoever. Slight sense of carbonation on your tongue rapidly fades to flat. A very easy to drink repeatable session brew. This is not sweet like wine coolers, something different. Very enjoyable and as a result, better watch out how much you drink. Can’t wait to taste another import cider. Very nice and well liked. Finish is clean and dry without a linger except, possibly, a pleasant memory.
