As a resident of Somerset, there's a certain feeling of being traitorous when drinking a cider from Herefordshire. Mind you, it's nothing compared to consuming a Scandinavian cider which evokes an uncontrollable urge to say 3 Hail Mary's and dedicate my life to a higher being. The expression "looks can be deceiving" is relevant here. The colour of this cider is pale to say the least. Indeed, it looks like a pint of white wine, which is a sight I never thought I'd see again post-university days. But this insipid looking liquid packs a punch, both in flavour and alcohol content. At a solid 6.5%, not too many bottles are required before you feel a desire to sign up for The People's Republic of Herefordshire. This tastes like a strong cider, but in a good way. It's "Medium Dry", but I would say it waivers on the sweeter side of medium dry; no bad thing in my opinion as sweet cider is my guilty pleasure. This is a 2016 "vintage", but I've had previous years and they are all good. Oak aged, and a very mild hint of the barrel runs through. Recommended. Just drink it in moderation, kids.. :)

I found it quite sweet
