The Colour: Mid straw colour, hint of golden in various light.

Aroma:  Mild apple

The Taste:  Medium dry with a long, intriguing finish.

The Pour:  The server gave me a glass of ice with this bevy, so I decided to give it ago.  I normally, like my drink chilled but ice free.  There was no carbonation with the pour and none afterwards. What I liked about this cyder, is that the flavours were not present right away, but after.  It wasn't an overpowering apple taste, but there was enough of a hint of apple to know you were drinking an apple based beverage.  It was a really neat cyder.  I wish it was available in Canada. 

The Rating:  8.5 out of 10

The Pub:  I tried this beauty at the Punch and Judy Pub in Covent Garden, London England.  It is one of the pubs you must visit while in London.  Based in a bustling market square, it a great place to go and relax after a hard day of shopping or sight seeing.  The pub is two levels.  We ate in the cellar level.  It had that old pub feel to it with wood paneling and brick walls and vaulted arches.  The area we were in had brick ceilings, which gave the whole area a quaint, cosy atmosphere, yet it was bustling and full of life.  The website is http://www.taylor-walker.co.uk/pub/punch-and-judy-covent-garden-piazza  it is indepth and a good tool to see if it has your bevy and food of choice.
