Another variety from Westons who’ve been scoring pretty well on the survey so far. Now, normally I prefer my cider dry rather than sweet so I was quite interested to see how this would compare to the others.

As is the way with sweet ciders the alcohol content is also slightly lower than the dry varieties and this usually gives the taste a quite refreshing but, for my liking, rather too bland flavour.

This Westons cider does a good job and is a lot better than most with plenty of apple coming through to the taste buds – a good choice for those of you who do prefer a sweet tasting cider – but not really my ideal.

The texture is good – only a very light sparkle which means the cider doesn’t suffer from tasting the same as Apple Tango. However, it’s further let down by a very weak, watery colour.

Cider should be a dark, cloudy, rather suspicious looking yellowy/greeny colour if possible please!
