On tap, this is cider has the tagline "made somewhere in the west country." It is quite different. A pale yellow colour, almost clear with a very light bouquet. The taste is a strong and little sweet. The sweetness disappears to a quite astringent finish. It was just cool when I tried it; it would be better and more refreshing if really chilled. 6.5/10

Kopparberg Pear
One of Sweden's premier cider makers, this pear cider has a nice light pear bouquet but is too sweet and has an odd pear taste. I wouldn't care for a second. 6/10

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

LadrĂ³n 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.
