Elderflower Suffolk Cider

Produced by Aspall Cyder, Suffolk, England for Sainsbury's supermarket Taste The Difference range.

Made by Aspall's for Sainsbury's. Pale golden, with a tinge of green, and a strong elderflower aroma. Elderflower dominates, but becomes slightly sickly in its intensity and sweetness, with the cider only evident in the finish. This needs a strong cheese and oatcakes to offset the sweetness, and slightly artificial nature of the elderflower flavour. Far nicer elderflower ciders are available, and I expect better balance from an Aspall's product.
