Toffee Apple from Kent Cider Co Wonderfully smooth aromatic cider. The Kent Cider Company have perfected the art of producing different varieties of ciders without killing its distinctive cider taste. Some ciders are so sweet, they're almost like children's fruit drinks, but this is beautiful. It smells and actually tastes of real old fashioned toffee apples, but its not overwhelming. At 5.5%, its perfect for a long night infront of the fire, especially at this time of year. Definitely one of Kent Ciders best.

Rhubarb from Saxby's Although this is a blend of apples and rhubarb, there is an incredible rhubarb aroma. I thought this may be a bit overwhelming, but the resultant cider is wonderful. Very crisp and fresh, and the rhubarb lingers on the palate. A perfect drink for any season, highly recommended Reviewed on 18 Dec 2020 - Got cider at The Green Barn Farm Shop in Benfleet 4 likes

Sparkling Essex Cider from The Big Bear Cider Mill Very nice but slightly tart taste of green apple varieties. I don't usually like drinks from cans, but this was much better than expected. At 5.4% its a perfect drink for a long sunny day Reviewed on 18 Dec 2020 - Got cider at The Green Barn Farm Shop in Benfleet 4 likes

Granny Smith from Sxollie Very nice and pleasantly crisp cider. Slightly sharp, but that's undoubtedly due to the single variety Granny Smiths apples. Perfect for a hot day over ice. Reviewed on 14 Nov 2020 4 likes

Waken from Kent Cider Co What can I say, without doubt one of the best ciders I've ever tasted. Cloudy and semi-sweet, but with the unmistakeable taste of a single fruit craft cider. At 4.2%, I'd happily drink this all day. This is definitely what real cider should taste like. Well done the Kent Cider Company Reviewed on 30 Oct 2020 - Got cider at Faversham Market in Faversham 4 likes

Orchard View from Aspall wonderful cider and on tap too. Quite sweet, but not too much to make it sickly. No nonsense, but a distinct floral aroma. Very drinkable. Reviewed on 21 Sep 2020 - Got cider at Sun Inn in Faversham 4 likes

Original from Saxby's very pleasant no nonsense green apple cider. Very crisp and tangy with a slightly sharp aftertaste. Once again with Saxbys nothing is overwhelming which is to their credit, so this is another of their ciders that I could very happily drink all day.

Rose Apple from Strongbow Hard Ciders wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. Not really keen on fruit flavoured ciders (apart from apple of course) but this was nice. Absolutely kills a thirst stone dead, and at only 4% can be drunk all day. Definitely one of the better massed produced ciders. Reviewed on 31 Oct 2020 3 likes

Organic Black Fox from Dunkertons Organic Cider A traditional cider made from organically grown apples. 🍎 Not one of the ciders that are too sweet, but undoubtedly a traditional cider at its best. Sweet fruit ciders are all well and good, but for me it has to be simply apples. It has a slight honey flavoured aftertaste, but it's none the worst for that. At 6.8%, it's a decent strength that can be drunk all day. Well worth trying. Reviewed on 01 Aug 2020 - Got cider at Zach Willsher in South Benfleet 3 likes

2019 vintage dry from lathcoats perfect cider for the purist. Slightly tart taste, but the purity of apple cider as it should be shines through. the homegrown, homemade ciders are head and shoulders above any foreign imports, and this is one of the best.
