Blush from Aspall Unsure what’s in this one but it tastes just like crushed Pink Lady Apples with the skins left on - and I should know, I grew up on the orchard that helped pioneer these stunning apples in Western Australia (my great grandfather called the Pink Lady precursor the JEF - James, Edwin & Frank after his sons). Great carbonation as a draught on tap. This is by far my favourite cider. They don’t come much better than this. Reviewed on 13 May 2024 3 likes

Cold river from Sharps Orchard Cornish cider Drank this one on tap. Nice carbonation, not too sweet. Very refreshing and easy to drink. Very pale yellow, clear cider, and not as thin as you would expect from such a clear cider. Reviewed on 16 May 2024 - Got cider at The Bush Inn in Tenby 2 likes

tropical from Lilley's Cider Drank this one on tap and it had a moderate carbonation. A very pale yellow cider with well-balanced tropical flavours, pineapple the most dominant. Quite sweet so probably suits a younger palate - eg uni students; but probably doesn’t have the alcohol content their budget’s appreciate. Reviewed on 14 May 2024 2 likes

Peach from Lilley's Cider Really enjoyed this cider. Drank it on tap and the peach flavours didn’t disappoint. Lovely sparkling cider that is a real thirst quencher. Reviewed on 13 May 2024 - Got cider at The Albert in Llandudno 2 likes

Black Dragon Welsh Cider from Gwynt y Ddraig Cider Not for me this one. Had this one on tap and was completely still. Funk of dirty socks but still drinkable. Amber colour and slightly cloudy. Might be funky but still smooth. Reviewed on 13 May 2024 - Got cider at Ship & Castle in Aberystwyth 2 likes

Dark Fruits from Strongbow Hard Ciders Has a nice tartness to go with the sweetness. Quite crisp and blackcurrenty. Aways a good ‘go-to’ cider when there’s nothing new to try on tap. Reviewed on 12 May 2024 2 likes

Inch’s Medium Apple Cider from Inch's Drank on tap. Yellow gold clear cider that tastes like Golden Delicious apples. Leaves a lot of sugar on the palate but certainly a cider that can be drunk if there is nothing new or better on tap. Reviewed on 15 May 2024 1 like

Gold from Thatchers Cider Company Not an outstanding cider but very drinkable. Drank on tap. Had a good fizz, no funk, not too sweet and a hint of pear, although it’s an apple cider. Would be great for a hot day or if there is nothing else on tap. Reviewed on 15 May 2024 1 like

Stowford Press English Cider from Westons Cider Nice hot weather cider that is easy drinking. Very pale with a light fizz. Bit thin - a bit like soda water with a dash of apple juice. Nothing in here that lingers on the palate. Probably not the cider for an old-school cider drinker. Reviewed on 14 May 2024 1 like

Whisky Cask from Thistly Cross Similar smoothness you get in an oaked Chardonnay - has those vanilla-y tones. A rich cider that is outside my taste palette, probably could only drink one as a starter, but loved trying something different. Reviewed on 12 May 2024 1 like
