Normally we drink Pure Blondes but tonight we thought we'd give Aldi's Natural Blondes a go and it's turned out to be a big big fucking no no. It tastes like it's been filtered through hay. Luckily we have back ups. This is a PSA. Don't make the same mistake guys.

Quite a few in agreement with you according to this review site (not sure why it's in the cider category?). I tried the Rivet lager before and was disappointed.

The after taste wasn't bad but the first bit was like dried grass clippings.

Sounds very yucky. Don’t like any of my drinks filter through grass or hay.

Yeah nah. It wasn't good.
