In a recent post (http://pubcurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2011/11/ciderator.html), I referred to Hereford’s Pilgrim Cider (http://herefordpilgrimdrinks.com/hereford_pilgrim_cider.html), a new product on the market which makes a donation to Help for Heroes of 10p for each bottle sold. Unfortunately, I wasn’t too impressed, and was taken to task in the comments (http://pubcurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2011/11/ciderator.html?showComment=1322489021658#c33560905 32303068306) by Chris Newall.

So, to be fair, I thought I’d sample another bottle. It’s 5.0% ABV and £1.75 for a 500ml bottle at Morrisons, or 4 for £5.50.

In appearance it is clear, a pale straw colour with a very gentle carbonation. The flavour is fairly sweet, with subdued fruitiness and a distinctive, somewhat “floral” note, which is what I previously described as “perfumey”.

I make no claims to any kind of expertise on cider, but this isn’t really to my taste at all. Given that it is supporting a worthy cause I’m sorry I can’t be more enthusiastic.

(And no, I didn’t just drink it this morning...)
