Cider 102 - Thatchers Gold


Tastes better from the bottle than the can but this was the last of the Hogmanay stash and even from the can it tastes a lot better than all of the mass produced ciders.

Gold is what I would call Thacher’s quaffing cider, in bottled form it comes in at 4.8% abv and many a fine warm afternoon has been spent shooting the breeze with family/friends downing a few of these.

Out of the can it is a tad stronger (5.3% abv) but retains the same great taste and as with all of their fine produce contains no artificial flavourings or sweeteners.

As it says on the can it is medium dry and has a good taste of apples as it slides over the palate.

It looks so pretty and inviting, burnished and glowing in the glass. Yum!

Phlegmmy, It is a real shame that you guys cannot get this stuff over there . starting to feel bad about taunting you.
