What does Thatchers Blood Orange cider taste like?

This cider isn’t like a lot of other fruit ciders – sythethic and full of flavourings.

Thatchers have crafted something special and well balanced. The fact they’ve used 3 different apple varieties alongside the natural blood orange, just shows what Thatchers were trying to avoid.

Final Thoughts

Some folks out there take shortcuts, buying pre-made apple juice concentrates, throwing in a bunch of artificial flavourings, and drowning it all in sweeteners. Not my cup of cider, I must say, but hey, I’m no cider snob! I just prefer things au naturel.

But oh boy, is this cider a gem! Thatchers Blood Orange cider is a true masterpiece, crafted from a delightful blend of three sweet apples: Fuji, Braeburn, and Gala. What sets this beauty apart is the use of natural blood orange flavour, and that’s a game-changer, my friends.

Here we have a fruit cider that’s not cutting any corners, brought to us by a large and reputable company. No fakes or phonies here, just a genuine cider experience.
