... combination, its bitter for a cider but it is sweet tasting. It says cider with a bite, and it certainly is. I was at university and prone to ALOT of cider drinking through my years. However at 7% this cider qualifies as a very strong cider and you should be wary that you do no need to drink that may pints to feel the affects. I have had, and heard, many stories of 'i've been rattlered'. Its strong and needs to be taken with caution. Although yo can buy this on draught in Cornwall for about £2.90. I saw that y...more

This Cornish cider is one of two ciders which is widerspreading across the UK from the land of Cornwall (the other being scrumpy jack made by another company).

You can get it in a limited 200 or so pubs, around the South West, but they have also now started bottling it and selling mail order. The drink itself is a cloudy cyder, and the reason that it's so rich in appley flavour is because it contains a high percentage of apple juice unlike many big name cider which can have as little as 20% apple content. The Rattler is named after the variety of apples it is made from, grown in Truro, ... Read the complete review
