Inches rolling apple from Bulmer's Cider A very pleasant cider from Bulmers. A faint aroma hid a nice taste surprise of very crisp new apples 🍎 All in all a perfect cider for warm summer days, and at 4.5% can be happily drunk all day. Reviewed on 02 Jun 2021 6 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 6 likes

Haymaker from Gwynt y Ddraig Cider Another beautiful Welsh cider. Deep golden colour with a wonderful aroma of fresh apples and newly cut hay. Slightly tart taste but without the nasty aftertaste. At 6.5% it packs a bit of a Wallop, so an ideal session drink. Highly recommended 😃 Reviewed on 09 Jul 2023 - Got cider at One Green Bottle in Wickford 5 likes

Wyld Wood Organic Medium Dry Sparkling Cider from Westons Cider Wonderful Herefordshire cider, beautiful apple only taste with only slight but not unpleasant carbonation. A little sweet, but not overpowering. All in all well worth trying. Highly recommended . Reviewed on 19 Aug 2022 - Got cider at RHS Garden Hyde Hall in Chelmsford 5 likes

Thundering Molly from Celtic Marches (Abrahalls) Very refreshing Herefordshire cider, unremarkable, but exactly how a good cider should be. Very strong apple aroma, with a slightly smokey aftertaste. At 5.2% a perfect drink for an all day binge Reviewed on 12 Nov 2021 - Got cider at One Green Bottle in Wickford 5 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 & Cafe in Benfleet 5 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 Benfleet 5 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 5 likes

Painted Lady from Barbourne Cider Co Painted Lady Perry is an incredibly refreshing drink made only from the juice of freshly pressed, handpicked Worcestershire perry pears. It is medium sweet to taste and light and fruity with some pleasing citrus notes. At 5% a perfect session drink Reviewed on 17 Aug 2023 4 likes

Midnight Special from Mr. Whitehead's Cider Company Limited This perry had a slightly sweet twangy start, but then the dryness kicked in and the acidity brought a bit of a burn to the back of the throat. After your first sip, the tangy pear taste just seems to fizz on the tongue. I gave my other half a try and she said it’s very similar to tasting the old fashioned fruit salad sweet. Overall it wasn’t bad perry but not overly amazing either. At 5%, It’s something that a pint or 2 is more than enough. Reviewed on 17 Aug 2023 4 likes
