Turners Cider

Very clear dark straw colour and flat (or as they say 'slightly sparkling').

Not a huge nose but fresh slightly citrus.

Lovely initial taste. Medium dry very slight tannic. Has a slight nuttiness to the taste to go with the apple.  Good clear taste, but you can tell it's up there at 8%.  It has that 'strong cider' flavour.

I'd say it would best go with robust food.  I certainly wouldn't try and go on a session on it...

Crystal clear pale straw colour with a slight sparkle.

Wow Pears.  Fairly subtle pear nose, but a huge pear flavour without being over the top.  It's also quite floral so would remind many of elderflower. 

Not a typical Perry taste apparently – haven't drunk enough yet to tell. 

Very slight aftertaste of burnt sugar (think Crunchie) on the base of the tongue.  Lovely and sweet but without being cloy. Brings back fond memories of Pearax as a child (Pearax was a low strengh pear cider from long ago).

I found it very very moreish even when cold not chilled.  Would be good with desert or on a hot afternoon. 

Would certainly get more as with most of Turner's ciders

Slightly cloudy, pinkinsh/Peach colour, with a light sparkle.

Big rhubarb nose.

Fair amount of sediment so be careful if you don't like that, but I didn't find it affected the taste.

Lots of smooth cooked rhubarb flavour that goes down very very easily. The balance of sweetness is dead on.  very easy to make this sweet and cloying, but it isn't. 

Obviously would work well with a desert, but owing to the balance you could drink several before getting tired of it.

Must order more. Got through he first batch far too quickly.

​

Slightly cloudy straw yellow, again with a very light sparkle.

Lots of elderflowers aroma. Big elderflower taste but not too sweet, again well balanced.

Not for me as it's a bit flowery but I can see some would like it.  I'd think it would get a bit sickly after a pint.  

Again a fair amount of sediment.

Unfiltered so again a slight sediment.

A big nose of mulled wine - cloves and spices. 

The Cloves & cinnamon.come through in the taste as well but a lot more subtle with a soft marshmallow kind of softness. Not at all sweet which is what I expected, in fact I'd half call it a medium sweet IMO

Very much apple pie in a glass but not cloyingly. Nice long warming spicy aftertaste.

Not over sweet and goes down very easily indeed, and that is impressive considering the strength of the flavours here. Obviously works well as a post meal drink.

This was the 2019 vintage in small bottles. Pale Straw yellow slightly hazy, flat. 

Big farmyard desert apple nose, slightly floral with a touch of honey.

  Sharp fresh apple flavour with a good tingle on the tongue. Mellowing to a cooked desert apple flavour with a touch of caramel. Very little tannin. Bittersweet smooth lingering aftertaste with a good amount of apple. Has plenty of initial bite but mouthwatering at the end.

That lovely contrast between the initial sharpness and lingering mouth watering makes it a very nice easy to drink cider, but some may find it a bit sweet for a medium. Very good as a sparkling cider.

Also tried in 2023 in the bigger bottles

Big nose, lots of honey and a fruit and a bit of a floral hint

Interesting. Lots of apple but a slightly dry floral taste rose or violet; just a little bit, and not over the top. No tannin but it balances out well.

Good little session cider if you don’t mind the slight floral hint. The sharp initial profile is still the same as original review but as I say slightly more floral now.

So this is review number 150! And what a corker it is too.

Pale Straw yellow, clear, slightly sparkling.

Slightly floral and sharp fresh apple nose with lots of red apple skins.

Ooh nice flavour, unusually for a medium dry I got a pudding taste - fresh cooked desert apple with a big hit of vanilla. More like an apple crumble than a pie but it’s not the overriding flavour, that is the crisp fresh apple. Very little tannin but it certainly is medium/medium dry despite the pudding taste. Lovely and buttery on the tongue.

Very nice indeed very easy to drink but has a big strong flavour. Will certainly get more of this again

Very pale yellow. Slightly cloudy with a light sparkle

Not a huge nose but what there is is slightly floral green apple.

Not much flavour at all. Dry but only a little bit of tannin. Not much fruit at all. Aftertaste is also not much at all. Little bit of citrus possibly. Hard to say much more about it sadly.

Not unpleasant as such just not much to it, which is a shame as I'm a fan of Turner's ciders as a whole.

Deep almost port red colour , clear and flat

Heavy blackcurrant nose almost red wine like

Lots of honest blackcurrant flavour but not sweet and Ribena like. Generally very smooth but with a slight tartness in the background. This has a real fruit flavour and not artificial. No tannin to speak of.

I personally can’t stand blackcurrant so I won’t rate it as it’s unfair but my partner really liked it and rated it 3/5
