Back to the said. Savanna have expanded their range recently, making their ciders both more accessible and more esoteric by introducing a new, limited addition to their impressive refreshing line-up of ciders; Savanna Angry Lemon. And as the name suggests, the innocent yet cheeky cider we’ve come to know now comes with a extra zesty kick.

FIRST LOOK

On arrival, our handy Savanna pack arrived in safely tucked away in a bright yellow gift box. The wrapping on the 6-pack has changed to a bright yellow to accommodate the emphasis on its zesty flavour. To our surprise, the bottle sports a dark-neon-like-lemony-green colour that sure is tempting! Those familiar with Savanna’s previous and original offerings — there’s their Dry cider, which is more gentle and sweet than it’s eponymous Light offering cider. On the other, there’s the brilliantly-named Savanna Dark, an old-school that’s happily rotten – admittedly, probably an acquired taste for most Savanna lovers — at the office couldn’t help but wonder why the need for this new offering, surely a lemon wedge, slice or cubes can add that extra lemon effect, no?

Savanna’s Marcel Swain explained that this is just a new, daring, limited edition offering which has the taste of their premium and original Savanna Dry with a refreshing splash of Lemon, something that consumers are sure to love. But the proof is in the pudding cider, the result is a complex, light cider that unsurprisingly rings with apple, but it’s also very tart. There’s something vinous about it, something teasingly sour that makes you salivate – something completely at odds with ciders like Hunters Dry, but way lemony. Other than that, it’s quite straightforward, but still a drink to be savoured.

My advice? Buy a 6 pack and split it with a friend, better yet settle for a 24 – seeing that it’s a limited edition. Pour it in a couple of nice glasses with few cubes of ice and a lemon wedge for your instagram post. Get it cold; sip it slow – this angry cider sings.
