Aspall is an English Draft Cider that has a variety of different "styles" for sale. I got this bottle at BevMo. There is a lot that can be said about how it tastes (technically) but that isn't what I'm here to tell you about. If you're one of the lucky few who understands what a number means or what "white spices aroma" is, good on you. For the rest of us, you just really want to know what it tastes like, compared to what you know. It's rather expensive ($4 for 500ML and 6.8% ALC/VOL) and you may not want to buy it if its not in your flavor profile.
So here's what it really tastes like (btw I'm not a super-taster, I just have a snooty pallet). It's dry, sharp, and a bit skunky. If you like beers like Heineken then this might be a good draft cider for you. I was a little shocked that the aroma is so light but the taste is so ... full? It has a sharp vinegary middle and a pleasant tart apple after taste. I finished the whole bottle, so I must have liked it well enough. It's not Strongbow (which is sweeter) or Magners Irish Cider (which is extra dry/skunky) but definitely somewhere in the middle to Magners end.
