Cidre Breton

 A French cider from Brittany (as the name inficates) it is widely available in England so it must be one of the more popular imported ciders. 

An odd mixture of flavours, starting with a very dry with the flavour of old cheddar! This disappears and is followed by quite dry tannic-like finish. Even the bouquet was lightly of old cheddar aftertaste. 4/10

Ladrón de Manzanas (50)

I tried this in Madrid. It has a nice medium strength in taste and off-dry. Made in Spain but the brand is owned by Heineken. 7/10

Scrumpy Jack

Produced by Symonds, Scrumpy Jack is a good just off-dry cider, made from Dabinett and Chisel Jersey apples.
