Cider? No!

Can't believe what's being passed off as cider these days...
The local (Elm Tree, Elmton) has two hand pumps - Westons 'Old Rosie' and 'Traditional'... what the hell? I used to think that bottled 'Old Rosie' was quite reasonable, but the draught version is quite undrinkable... (mind you the bar didn't pull them, but said 'not be a minute' and disappeared from the bar...
I'm thinking, after a similar experience at The Arkwright Arms, that if they go out back to fetch it, it's not going to be worth drinking... (as was the case with Woodthorpe Hall's and Hucknall's)
Though the Roger Wilkins was worth it at Arkwright...
