Thatchers Katy

This is "... the most popular cider in Thatchers single varietal cider range." according to the dedicated Katy website.

Thatchers Cider have produced a clever concept of creating cider from a single variety of apples, their Cox and Spartan varieties are coming up later in this survey.

As for Katy, she's not half bad when it comes to taste, but badly let down in this scoring system by very pale, almost water-like, colour and a very fizzy texture.

However, despite an eventual low score in total, the flavour itself is full of magnificent, full, rich appley-ness and my preferred flavour so far in this survey. If your tastes are for a fizzy, refreshing cool cider on a hot summer day (seems a long way off at the moment!) then a bottle of this would be a very good choice.

Shame about the rather dull label on the bottle but all things considered I can't wait to try the other single variety options now.
