Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a KZfaq video every Tuesday & Friday plus an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT on Twitch.

Old Rosie (Westons) is one of the good ones although I'm going through a Sandfords orchards phase (Hangy Downs - definitely on the sweet side) at the moment - they also do a ginger flavoured cider which works really well. Proper (traditional) cider comes without bubbles and with cloudiness.

When coopers make wooden casks, it's a skilled art Alanna. They will often fire the inside to give a charred or toasted effect, it helps to seal and condition the wood. There's different levels of charring, depending on the type of wood and the intended contents. It will add to the aged taste of the alcohol as it matures.

I would recommend you try Black Dragon Cider by Gwynt Y Ddraig, I have never found it in the supermarkets in England, but can get it in Wales no problem and there are some websites that sell in England. Edit, it used to be sold at Waitrose but stopped for some reason and sometimes Wetherspoons (near me) has it on tap for a limited time.

That Old Rosie was non carbonated, try the carbonated ones you get in the 500ml bottles, it makes it better in my opinion. Plus Scrumpy Jack is one of my fave cider of them all, I seriously cannot get enough of it.

Old Rosie is made down the road from me, it's actually a farm, cottage industry. I buy it on the regular, I fill an empty 2ltr pop bottle 3/4 full stick it in the freezer. Once the water has frozen, what you are left with is real scrumpy jack. If you decide to do it, it tastes delicious, go carefully,you have seriously increased the alcohol! Like deployed 👍

Ahh, the spirit of Keith Floyd lives! :) Great to see you getting pished in the name of KZfaq. Although it could have done with some Tayto Smokey Bacon (don't worry, I ate those so you didn't have to) and you missed my favourite cider ... Healey's Rattler. Nothing better than sitiing at Land's End having a pint of rattler! Scrumpy Jack is my second fav though.

Hi Alanna, another fantastic review. I'm also a cider drinker (hops don't agree with my system). You should definitely try Addlestones cider, used to serve it in the little pub I worked at in Suffolk, it was also my favourite. Again, not to sweet nor too dry. Looking forward to more videos in this series!

Hi Alanna. Such a joy to watch your drink tastings. There are a couple more Aspull ciders, same shaped bottles but with green or red? lbels denoted maybe sweeter tastes. My personal favourite is the green label. Worth a try. Thanks again for your very humorous opinions. Always funny and informative too! 👍

Middle Farm, outside Lewes in Sussex. National cider and perry collection. You get a little thimble glass to taste from the loads of barrels of draught cider before you buy. Bring a designated driver.

I think that the "doesn't taste like alcohol at all" illusion occurs with cider, more times than it doesn't. At times, even when I'm drinking the strongest cider available to me, providing it's good quality cider, I find myself quaffing it as though it were just a soft drink - of course an hour or so later (when the tunnel vision sets in, and I find my legs wobbly,) I realise how strong it is.
@simonmarley6420 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for this Alanna, I do love your videos - especially the taste tests! :-) Of the ones you tested, my favourite would be Scrumpy Jack, but I do prefer Thatchers Haze (it's a cloudy cider).

Great video, Thatchers make excellent Ciders, so I look forward to your Thatchers taste test. A few years ago I applied for a job with them, and felt it was important to try all their ciders as part of my interview prep :). Thatchers Katy was by far my favourite as has a Champaign like finish, far better than gold IMO, that is their main seller. More recently I tried Haze which is their new Cloudy cider, I liked that one as well, but there is always a chilled bottle of Katy in my fridge.

Born in Somerset and grandmother's family originally from Herefordshire, it's no wonder I like cider. Loved this video as you got happier and happier. Long ago, my favourite was Taunton Exhibition, which I believe is now only available at the Coronation Tap in Bristol. 'We' (I wasn't old enough) used to buy it by the flagon in Uphill. Happy days.

No longer there - there are pictures online. I think the Ram Ciderhouse would be your perfect pub. It was a very old house with a gorgeous garden. There was a small bar inside the house, but everyone used to just sit in the garden, and drinks were sold through the rear windows of the pub, straight out into the garden. They sold no beer wine or spirits, just dozens of different ciders. Other ciders would be brought in as 'guests' and to see how popular they were. And they also served a range of favourite blends. Mixing two or more ciders to blend the characters. It was a really beloved place

It was in Godalming, Surrey. Weston’s used to do a gallon jug, of a cider called 'Farmhouse Rough' that was very good - very cloudy, very strong and with a lot of sediment.

I’m not a cider drinker, probably because I am from an area of Britain that has no real links with the production of large scale ciders, although you could possibly find a small scale producer, indeed my brother in law make’s his own apple juice, which is non alcoholic but appears in colour and cloudiness to be like the Old Rosie. However I would just like to thank you for taking the time to produce a very entertaining video and keep on making them but drink sensibly.

Glad to see you on the Henry's . I agree, Old Rosie is an acquired taste, and a bit acidic, but its also a leg wobbler. The Vintage (8.2%) is a total leg wobbler. It's so easy to drink that by the time it's your round you need a prop to get to the bar.
@johnafirth 2 жыл бұрын
Pretty sure the Old Rosie I used to get in pubs was an 8% one. Must have been the Vintage.
