80 ciders... 80% of the way to the ultimate goal; there are still three full months in the year, but I just don't know if I'll make it to 100, nevertheless, here's to number 80!

Thatchers Cox's Somerset Cider (TCSC) is an interesting cider. I think I like it, but something is holding me back from fully committing. The initial taste is very nice; pleasant apple flavor and moderate carbonation. The aftertaste lets TCSC and me down; a hint of bitterness can be acceptable especially when it's on the tart apple side, but this aftertaste is just unpleasant.
