I'm mourning Best Mate and having some cider.
So far I've tried:
- a bottle of Mr Whitehead's Boxing Dog (which I thought I read about on here. Did one of you try it at a beer fest or something?). It was a pale colour, more like Copella apple juice, and (to my uncultured palate) a thin and almost unpleasantly acidic taste
- a bottle of Dunkerton's Black Fox. Like each of the last few bottle of this cider, it has a definite sulphur smell.
Has anyone else tried these, and did they find them as disappointing as me, or is it the grief souring my tastebuds? |

Mr Whiteways Boxing Dog is discussed here: http://www.hannahmorezider.co.uk/new_forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1018&whichpage=2 where i described it as "actually pretty good" although i cant really remember now, no-one else seemed to like it much.
I think i had Dunkertons Black Fox about a year ago and liked that too, it was some Dunkertons of some kind and came from a Fresh & Wild store. It was quite dark and a bit syrupy from what i remember, not sure if its the same one, and maybe it has changed anyway, lots of good ciders seem to have gone over to the orange side in recent years.
