Pale yellow slightly hazy and sparkling. I've tried this both in a tin and on draught and they're a bit different: Can Bit of a malted barley nose on top of the apple. That smooth slight maltiness is initially there but a sharp tart apple kicks through with lots of fruit flavour. Good balance of dry and sweet apples and both bounce around the mouth. Has a nice long slightly dry aftertaste but it does leave a refreshing feeling in the end.
Rather strangely you also get a little hint of apple shandy which is strange as I doubt if there's any Lemonade anywhere near it. I blame the tin. Not bad at all 3/5 for the tinned version. Canned cider - sigh, I guess it's the way we're going. Nowhere near a full pint is my biggest complaint, and it does seem to influence the taste. Draught Similar malty taste but tartness is more pronounced almost gooseberry. You also get a lot more fruit as well and to balance it out you have a touch of honey possibly in the aftertaste and none of the shandy flavour you get in the tin. That could be down to the fizz but I'm not a fan. Much nicer on draught than in the tin. The maltiness is very pronounced which makes it a very interesting cider and one to try if you can. They make use of apples that supermarkets have rejected, so fair play to them for that |
