Carling British Cider

Like I said in my review of their cherry cider, the word Carling on the bottle doesn't really fill me with much hope. However, unlike their cherry 'cider', this I found a half decent effort for a lager manufacturer.

The bottle says it's 'Refreshing to the core' but I didn't find that at all. It was quite a crisp taste but in terms of flavour there wasn't much there at all. It was sweet-ish but was overall just very un-exciting but not awful.

Carling Cherry Cider

Didn't have much hope that a lager maker producing a fruity cider would produce much good, and I was right.

The label says its cherry cider with cherry juice and natural cherry flavourings, so clearly they didn't have any confidence in their product without having to enhance the flavour. The flavourings came through very strongly in the cider. The taste was so strong, sweet and artificial that it felt like I was drinking an alcopop. This was not an enjoyable drink and I won't be drinking this again anytime soon.
