Katy from Thatchers Cider Company I'm sure this was a relatively dry cider a few years ago, however the last time I had this, it was sweet. This could be that my taste has changed. Reminds me and everyone else of a white wine, on the nose. This is a cider which is best served cold, very cold. It much worse near room temperature. For common Thatcher's ciders found at supermarkets it is one of the better ones but if went to Thatchers or buying cider online it wouldn't be on my list. Almost forgot to say at 7.4% go careful, his is a danger cider. Reviewed on 30 Oct 2022 5 likes

Wyld Wood Organic Medium Dry Still Cider from Westons Cider This is a very good value for money cider when bought at a supermarket. Normally just over £7. Probably a good introduction cider to those who want to wheen themselves off the genetic supermarket cider and onto ciders with more flavour and strength. Very drinkable be careful at 6% Reviewed on 29 Oct 2022 5 likes

Browns Apple Cider 2019 from Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry Co Really enjoyable refreshing cider. Golden colour with slight haze but almost clear. Funky aroma and it is the lingering taste mixed in with sharp acidic apple flavours . Reviewed on 20 Feb 2023 4 likes

No Brainer from The Cotswold Cider Co I've had this twice, really want to like it but it is just OK. Had the 4.8ABV sparking and the stronger flat and they're much the same. Dirty peach colour(looks lovely), moderate carbonation. Slightly farm yard funky smell. Small amount of citrus notes. The carbonation takes away from the deep tannin notes this cider has to offer. Not massively dry but the tannin is the over arching theme of the cider. For me the tastes aren't varied enough to rate it higher Reviewed on 06 Nov 2022 4 likes

Yellow Hammer from The Cotswold Cider Co Cloudy amber cider. A sweet cider which isn't over powering, very fruity. Slight caramel notes. Real pleasant easy drinking cider. Reviewed on 06 Nov 2022 4 likes

Brown Snout from Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry Co This is the funniest most controversial cider ive ever drank. In short tastes great but smells like it fell out if a cow's arse.... To say it has farmyard funk is an understatement. Had this at a cider festival last month easily the most rememberable. Really enjoyed the complex flavours going on. Nicely balanced between sweet and dry. Reviewed on 05 Nov 2022 4 likes

Organic Black Fox from Dunkertons Organic Cider Done an edit to aline with my most recent reviews. Cloudy pale orange colour, a little carbonation. Small amount of funk aroma with caramel. This is a superb cider with a lot of depth with a sharp initial tastes with some tannins which balances out with some sweetness at the end. Mildly acidic. Fruity but not too sweet. For many this might taste dry, but to the initiated, it is medium dry. If you like true ciders this is one you can enjoy even if you prefer you cider dry or sweet as it is very well balanced between the two. Reviewed on 30 Oct 2022 4 likes

Browns from Dunkertons Organic Cider My first impression of this cider was a lot of farmyard funk on the nose. This relatively sharp and sweet cider compared to many in the dunkertons range has a brilliant argument of flavours for a single variety cider. This is my favourite single variety cider I've tried to date. Reviewed on 30 Oct 2022 4 likes

Magners Apple Cider from Magners Cider It'd bland and boring. Avoided it for years, tried it in a hotel with nothing else on offer. My second drink was a lemonade. Reviewed on 30 Oct 2022 4 likes
