Granny Smith from Sxollie
I've been steadily sampling all the craft ciders from all major UK supermarkets. This absolutely goes bottom of the list. Had a farmyard smell, no tannins at all, zero body and no notes of extra acidity- which is what I was expecting from a cider made purely from Grannies. It makes me think that the people behind this cider don't really care, or even know what makes a good cider. Judging by the rave reviews on here - it makes you wonder how easy it is to please people with no discerning tastebuds Reviewed on 28 Sep 2025 2 likes

Somerset Oak Matured Vintage Cider from Sheppy's
Spicy, almost gingery aroma. Very rich, full bodied, complex flavours. Tannins come through nicely. It isn't very sharp, which is a shame because I think a little more acidity would cut through the richer flavour profiles. I'd say this has a lot going for it in terms of aroma, body and tannins. The oak taste really defines this cider, and to some degree, it's a little overpowering (in terms of a person think big personality, who's good at a party but you wouldn't want to see often) I'm going for 4/5 not only for the flavours but also because there is so much s**t cider out there at the moment that this represents one of only a few remaining good ciders left in the UK that is available in big supermarkets.

English Vintage Cider from Lidl Deluxe
I've just tasted this off the back off a 3.20 500ml Sommerset (shipley cider) As a lower price Lidl cider this still hits the mark. Aroma is slighlty lemony along with a faint farmyard smell, id almost put it down as an un-lit match smell. Good strong body, nice colour and a fizz which isn't overpowering. Overall a solid robust cider 3/5 Reviewed on 03 Oct 2025
