Rascal

Thatchers Rascal (4.5% ABV, 500ml). Clear, deep golden colour. Rather meek aroma of slightly mouldy, semi-sweet apples, mild vanilla. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation. Ripe, bitter-sweet apples on the palate, rather fruity, plus some apple skins, mild yeast. Moderate tannic bitterness in the finish and aftertaste, with some apple sweetness left behind. Definitely one of the company's better ciders (Which isn't saying much, admittedly); uncomplicated, but with good fruit flavours, not too much carbonation, and no sweeteners or malic acid added. Likeable (7/10).

Dark amber colour, slightly carbonated. Smooth with a rich taste and a slight sweet toffee flavour.

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.

Liked it. A nice change from their Gold.

Tastes like apple juice!

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.
