CID – Rose Sparkling
A more upscale wine-type of cider that would pair well with a romantic meal. You can tell it has been aged in a barrel for a long period, because of the earthy, musty flavour.
London Calling – Pear & Apple
An artificial, lower-grade cider that seems to have been designed to appeal to younger people. Has a very bizarre aftertaste that develops that is hard to describe beyond it being malty.
