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 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.

2017 Vintage from Chaplain & Corks cider as its supposed to be!! I don't know why, but you can tell the hand crafted ciders from all others, and this is one of the best. Whereas some of the fruit flavours become a bit sickly after a while, this you could happily drink all day. But at 8.2% my day wouldn't last very long Reviewed on 23 Jun 2020 - Got cider at The Crafty Half Ltd in Southend-on-Sea 3 likes

Full flavour apple cider from Coop Wasn't expecting much, as the label says it's all made from concentrate 😳 But to be honest I was pleasantly surprised. Nice crisp fruity taste, with no horrid aftertaste that comes with some of the cheaper ciders, and at only £2 for a 568 ml bottle isn't bad at all. Well worth a try. Reviewed on 12 Aug 2020 2 likes

Scrumpy Jack from Symonds No nonsense Herefordshire cider. Very strong apple taste as you'd expect, but with very pleasing citrus fruit aftertaste. A decent sized can for a change, and at 6% very satisfying 👌 Reviewed on 10 Aug 2020 - Got cider at The Crafty Half Ltd in Southend-on-Sea 2 likes

Rockshore Apple cider from Guinness Another beautiful Irish Cider, quite sweet, but unmistakably real apple and no concentrate. I think I'll move to Ireland Reviewed on 05 Feb 2020 - Got cider at Dublin Airport in Dublin 2 likes

Orchard Thieves from Bulmer's Cider Beautiful Irish cider, nice fruity flavour, you can actually taste the apples, but not too sweet, and at 4.5% a cider you could drink all day Reviewed on 04 Feb 2020 2 likes
