Please Ignore.
I don’t generally like cider aged in oak casks. It often tastes like bourbon with apples instead of cider with a hint of oak. This one I like. I noticed the oaky taste immediately but it did not build to overpowering like others I’ve had.
BUT if you like something a bit stronger than cider (6%) check out the website:

Smelled nice, taste was a bit scrumpy or farmhouse but not overpowering. Very smooth and matched my curry perfectly.
Would drink again.

Addlestone cloudy
Addlestone’s Cloudy cider Mill Run Pub,
A strong first impression, reddish amber in color. Very light on the bubbles, slight aroma. Went well with my Chinese takeaway. Left a clean taste at the end.
Tried to find on the Waitrose website what the alcohol level is but I THINK its 4.8 which makes it easy to quaff the whole 500ml for a reasonable £2.
This guy does his cider review better:

This is a really impressive effort:
I had a post that said “Welcome!” on it but I don’t remember what it said so I’ll just quote from my old webpage:
I’ve found you just can’t afford to just go live on an island someplace, or even Kokomo for that matter without doing something to pay the bills. But in cyberspace all things are possible so in my mind, and on the internet I’m already there! Just like a real beach this one changes a little every day so come back often to see what may have washed up on shore. We all enjoy taking time out for a little grockle on the beach don’t we?
Speaking of which, I don’t tend to mention work much since this is a personal blog but they ask that the following disclaimer be posted on any site I might mention my employer for 30 historic years.
