This is the cider I was drinking at Electric Dreams. I would have drunk a lot more of it if I hadn’t felt so rotten with my cold that weekend!
Thatchers Haze, like many of the Thatchers ciders I’ve sampled this year, has a good ‘real cider’ taste to it – it’s also very summery, so perhaps not the best choice for this time of year, but I really enjoyed it.
This is another cider I had while gaming at UKGE last weekend.
I first had Thatchers Katy about a year ago, when Geth and I went round for dinner with my old next-door neighbours at my parents’ place. They had one in because their daughter is called Katy. I can’t remember how much of a cider drinker Katy is (she tends to be on spirits whenever I see her) but it must be pretty cool to have a cider with the same name as you.
It’s a nice apple-y cider, a bit tastier than regular Thatchers. Good stuff.
Another rough cider from the Thatchers Stan line.
It’s a bit drier than the Cheddar Valley from the same line that I had a few weeks ago, but it’s still a very nice rough that tastes of summer. Highly appropriate for a warm May day!
Geth and I went for a slightly ill-fated Maundy Thursday pint the other night – our favourite pub was absolutely rammed, so I started to feel ill and had to leave without finishing my second drink, which was Stowford Press, already logged. I did, however, enjoy my first, which was a rough cider I’d not tried before – Cheddar Valley, one of Thatchers’ ‘Stan’s’ line.
It was a nice change to have a rough cider – I usually only drink those in the summer – even if the taste of this one was a little dry for my liking. I’m interested to try the other ciders in the ‘Stan’s’ range now.
