Sonic Titan from Ascension Cider Co I ruminated before reviewing this one. On handpump, it was the most turbid I've ever had, looking like undiluted pineapple juice, and barely drinkable. However, two reviewers rate it only slightly hazy. Assuming I had an unlucky and untypical experience I've omitted turbidity and funk ratings. I'll take the opportunity to ride a hobby horse - bag-in-box is far better than handpump for cider. If the box is being tilted steeply and is dispensing cloudy muck you can quickly tell the barperson you'll have something else instead. With a handpump you are presented with a full glass and it's too late. Reviewed on 05 Jul 2023 - Got cider at The Evening Star in Brighton 5 likes

Galipette Brut from Galipette Clear, orange/golden, medium, too carbonated for my liking, best as a thirst quencher on a hot day. Reviewed on 17 Sep 2022 - Got cider at Waitrose & Partners Harborne in Birmingham 5 likes

Inch’s Medium Apple Cider from Inch's Golden, clear, sweetish, long lasting head, looks better than it tastes. I might have appreciated it more outside in summer. Reviewed on 31 Jan 2022 5 likes

Draught Cyder from Aspall I agree with Judge that it's too gassy, and with David that it claims to be (medium) dry when it's fairly sweet. Refreshing, but nothing more. Reviewed on 07 Dec 2020 - Got cider at Asda Halesowen Superstore in Halesowen 5 likes

Muddy Scamp from Purbeck Cider Co Golden, slightly turbid, notably fruity, mine bag-in-box so no carbonation. Reviewed on 17 Jun 2024 - Got cider at The William Henry - JD Wetherspoon in Weymouth 4 likes

Abrahalls Vintage Cider from Celtic Marches (Abrahalls) Golden, clear, medium, thin bodied, easy drinking but not all that much to it. Reviewed on 08 Mar 2024 - Got cider at The Brunswick Inn in Derby 4 likes

No Bull from Gwatkin Cider Company Mine notably different to previous reviews, dark ruby, very turbid, quite funky, fruity, somewhat akin to a weak red wine. Either bag in box is different to the bottle or I was unlucky and it was near the bottom of the box. Am tempted to say that's Gwatkin for you.
