I also like the fact that each tin does not have 6 spoons of sugar added in the after taste.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634870909559270527.post-52334201842305216432013-01-07T08:47:49.814+00:002013-01-07T08:47:49.814+00:00As far as I can remember there is no reason for no...As far as I can remember there is no reason for not trying 'Old Rascal'... in fact, I thought I had:-)<br /><br />I haven't seen their new SV, although as one of the main growers of a new set of cidr fruit varieties (including Prince William) I would be very keen to do so.Thoughts on cider...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10088137649328959012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634870909559270527.post-41993584268751764862013-01-04T00:26:07.421+00:002013-01-04T00:26:07.421+00:00Oh and by the way - two questions:) Why didn't...Oh and by the way - two questions:) Why didn't you post a review of Old Rascal and did you heard (tried?) the new (I think...) SV by Thatchers? It's called Prince William but I didn't see it in any stores. Well, I haven't seen Cox either which makes me think that I arrived in the UK a little bit too late:)<br /><br />Cheers!Dreadnoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00473479571035846132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634870909559270527.post-21919248236615377842013-01-04T00:19:42.956+00:002013-01-04T00:19:42.956+00:00You can find Gwynt Y Ddraig in Edinburgh also, so ...You can find Gwynt Y Ddraig in Edinburgh also, so this is nice. I try to taste as much ciders as possible, but am always returning to Aspall, Sheppy's and Henneys. <br />Yeah, Thistly Cross is made locally ( I've got the Whisky Cask on my shelf to try) and we've also got here Cairn O'Mohr which is fairly nice and Waulkimill - but you can't get hold of them in stores. Once I will a proper job I will try to buy ciders through the internet.<br /><br />Cheers!Dreadnoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00473479571035846132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634870909559270527.post-44154860505570608822013-01-03T09:18:14.345+00:002013-01-03T09:18:14.345+00:00I agree - but there is the catch!

For you to get cider in Scotland its either got to be locally made (e.g. Thistly Cross) or else mass produced... which sadly all too often means commodity/industrial cider. Of these, Thatchers are better than most (though I am currently waiting for their 2012 Vintage to hit the shelves!!!)<br /><br />CheersThoughts on cider...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10088137649328959012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634870909559270527.post-82132721841253813132013-01-02T23:14:21.020+00:002013-01-02T23:14:21.020+00:00Sure it's better than Strongbow, but you are r...Sure it's better than Strongbow, but you are right - it it very watery and not only with the first taste. And the aftertaste is not huge either. Very week tannins and a little acid to balance them. Funny thing - I'm drinking a lot of ciders (and it's not that common to be a Polish guy, livinig in Scotland and drink cider:))and came to this one after 1,5 year of trying ciders. Other Thatchers ciders are really far more better.Dreadnoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00473479571035846132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634870909559270527.post-30597161022850982372012-04-16T23:48:46.605+01:002012-04-16T23:48:46.605+01:00That's interesting.

I have to say that I stand by the review though... still, its better than Strongbow eh. <br /><br />I guess this kind of thing will always be subjective to a degree.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment though.Thoughts on cider...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10088137649328959012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634870909559270527.post-16921514438673760482012-04-16T18:19:37.923+01:002012-04-16T18:19:37.923+01:00I love Thatchers Gold.I have never found it to hav...I love Thatchers Gold.I have never found it to have a watery first taste,just the taste of fresh apple.
