About them: "I've been drinking real cider since 1980's, I like it clear and on the dry side, and find it useful to go by the colour; colourless or pale yellow it's 80% probability I will like it, darker probably won't like it. I generally prefer bag-in-box to bottles: where other reviewers have had a bottle obviously some taste properties may be different to b-in-b, especially level of carbonation. Also, having a very dry palate what others regard as dry I could well judge medium or even sweet. By 'real cider' I mean apple cider (excuse the tautology), not the abomination of 4% so-called fruit ciders which really should be called mixed fruit drinks and which I refuse to drink on principle.

Devon Scrumpy Cider from Palmerhayes Now 6%, clear, dark yellow, tasty but very tart. Bottles include a plastic option, not aesthetically pleasing but handy to carry back from holiday. Reviewed on 20 Sep 2020 - Got cider at The Rock Shop in Torquay 3 likes

Premium Perry from Broadoak Cider Clear, fruity, much too sweet for me. Lacks the all things to all men complexity of Broadoak Moonshine. Reviewed on 16 Sep 2020 - Got cider at Ye Olde Cider Bar in Newton Abbot 3 likes

Traditional Farmhouse from Reddaway's Farm Cider Clear, dark yellow, notably astringent, may be an idea to try before you buy. Pub a convenient stones throw from Ye Olde Cider Bar. Reviewed on 15 Sep 2020 - Got cider at Teign Cellars in Newton Abbot 3 likes

Bull walloper from Hunts Cider Clear, orange, sweet. Pub is no longer Wetherspoon but still looks like one, so glad they have real cider, albeit this was the only one. Reviewed on 13 Sep 2020 - Got cider at The Isaac Merritt in Paignton 3 likes

Sam's Poundhouse Medium from Winkleigh Cider Again had bag-in-box so my experience different to other reviewers, especially level of sparkle. Clear, very fruity, extremely drinkable. Reviewed on 12 Sep 2020 - Got cider at Henrys bar in Paignton 3 likes

Leg Wobbler from Weymouth Cider Company Clear, colourless, sweet, moreish, dangerously drinkable, similar to Broadoak Moonshine. Cider Supermarket is connected to Weymouth Cider Co in Dorset, I prefer to buy bag-in-box from them, usually more reliable than dealing with individual cider producers.

Organic Cyder medium dry from Aspall Clear, yellow, highly carbonated for me, refreshing but not very tasty, would go down better on a hot summer day. Reviewed on 07 Nov 2020 - Got cider at Asda Halesowen Superstore in Halesowen 2 likes

The General from Sandford Orchards Had bag-in-box. Clear, dark yellow, fruity, a medium to me. Drinkable for 8.4% but one to try a half rather than a whole session cider! Reviewed on 14 Sep 2020 - Got cider at Ye Olde Cider Bar in Newton Abbot 2 likes

Straw & Oak from Sandford Orchards The version I had (b-in-b) was only 5.8%. Yellow, a bit cloudy, medium, easy drinking. Reviewed on 14 Sep 2020 - Got cider at Maltings Taphouse & Bottle Shop in Newton Abbot 2 likes

Wobbler from Hunts Cider Clear, yellow. Yet another cider that, with my dry palate, tastes a bit sweet, and rather syrupy. Reviewed on 13 Sep 2020 - Got cider at Ye Olde Cider Bar in Newton Abbot 2 likes
