Bottled. Hazy yellow colour with a minor fastly disappearing white head. Aroma is sweet apples with some slight tartish tones. Flavour is green apples, some apple puré as well as some apple juice with a wee bit of tart wood in the finish. Somewhat dry. Regardless of many cider traditionalists maintaining that fruity pours “aren’t proper cider”, the point remains that consumer clamour makes them a must serve and that operators should be prepared to experiment.

Bottle from ASDA Supermarket, Manchester. Clear pink colour with a light carbonation. It has a light tasting but fairly sweet red berry influence. Thatchers cider, my friends, is not just your run-of-the-mill cidery. No, no, no! They are a true purveyor of excellence, a master of their craft, and a shining example of the cider-making artistry that has graced the charming Somerset countryside for over a century. This family-owned treasure has been pressing apples since 1904, and their dedication to their orchards and the craft of cider-making is as unwavering as a sturdy apple tree in a gusty wind.
