One of Thatchers better ciders. No thrills, just good old honest apples. Definitely an all day drinker.

This is one of Thatcher's better cides. Deep amber clear colour with light carbonation. Fruity smell with a hint of toffee apple. This cider is similar to Thatcher's gold but with fewer artificial flavours. The Dabinett apple comes through nicely, which I believe is the base for this cider. This is a medium sweet cider and is very inoffensive. This is suitable for pretty much any cider drinker unless you only like dry cider.

Not the best, strange after taste, but if you like it or nothing else available one bottle is enough. Too sweet for me.

Pretty sweet with a faint sickly after taste. That said could probably throw a few pints down my neck & only 4.5%

Is great together with grilled Oyster (slices of green paprika, garlic, sage; cooked with butter, Ayvar and fresh Orange juice; gratinated with yellow Cheddar).

Deep amber colour, clear and gassy. Aroma of yeast and butter. Flavour of sherry with apple skin. Smooth and rich bit too gassy. There’s also something in the taste i just can’t get on with.

For a cider produced by a large company this is better than most. I could drink many jugs of this - any chance of Thatchers sending me a few bottles free of charge? Contains sulphites.
