If you want to feel like a real hillbilly country bumpkin wurzels fan and yet don't want, for some reason, to drink out of a jar then this may just be the drink for you!
Westons does some good Cider I think. I know that their Old Rosie Cloudy Cider is good at any rate as I've blogged that already.

My first problem with this drink is that the bottle is massive! I just don't think I have the self control not to drink this thing. The second is that the horse on the bottle art looks unhappy and knackered. If it wasn't painted I'd be calling the R.S.P.C.A on their asses.

On opening however all worries about badly treated fictitious horses melt away as the smell of a drink made with real apples hits you.

It tastes like a good strong cider too. Acidic? Yes, a bit but mainly like apples. This cider is dry which means that in my eyes it's not perfect but if you love dry you'll probably love this.
I like a nice strong oak barrel taste and that is missing here or at least to my over worked taste buds.

I'm still liking it though and am having trouble not sipping this off apple juice right now... At least this is going to last me a while being 2 litres.

I also feel that if I were to chuck it at someone on a hot August day that the someone would quickly be carried of by wasps and Incorporated into their hive as a cafeteria which is the sign of any good fruit based drink.





tasty rating
Good as a drink 07/10 Good as a Cider etc 09/10
Can't put down factor 08/10 Good at getting you drunk 8/10
Bottle art 8/10
Average = 80ish out of 100% because I can't count and I don't understand percentages.
It's all just guess work really on my account.
