Taffy Apples and Twareg the Marsh Warrior

This is more like it, a cider with a properly stupid name and a ridiculous label to boot.

Sadly I couldn’t understand what the picture on the front was about until someone explained to me the story of William Tell. Later, on looking at the rear label on the bottle, it became even clearer… I quote ““William Flippin Who” laughed Twareg the Marsh Warrior snatching the apple from the kids head, I’ll have that for my Taffy Apples.

(Punctutation and grammar was taken straight from the bottle so don’t go pointing out the mistakes to me!)

This imaginative medieval tale made me increase my label score from 2 to 3 and, quite frankly, the label was the only thing holding this cider back. Fabulous in all other areas (albeit a tad orangey in colour) this is definitely worthy of a high place on the leaderboard.

Name: Taffy Apples, (6%)
Label: 3/5
Looks: 4/5
Flavour: 5/5
Texture: 4/5
Total: 16/20

Here’s the league table of full results so far.

Incidentally, the only mention I could find of Twareg elsewhere on the web was a car called the Twareg Special… definitely no marsh warriors in sight.
