Any recommendations for low alcohol cider? I bought 3 different types today and just started on Waitrose 1% at £1.30 and it tastes pretty good. The others are thatchers 0% at £1.80 and Sainsbury’s medium dry low alcohol at £1.50 (all 500ml).
Update from above. The clear winner is the Waitrose own brand 1% which has a nice clean taste and is the driest of the 3 as well as the cheapest. The Sainsbury's 1% had a chemical after taste and was a bit sweeter and the Thatchers 0% was just like pop.

Yep, we liked that too.
Gnomm
I know it's supposed to be low rather than no, but the Hoegaarden 0,0 I bought yesterday is very drinkable
Yeah, it has that “honeyed” taste that someone mentioned, so isn’t the same as the alcohol version, but very drinkable on its own merits. More of a pudding bear than a sunny afternoon beer.
Hold the front page… Padstow do one?!? I’m on that as soon as possible…
I’ve only tried 0.5 beers so, favourite is shipyard low tide, ghost ship is good but not as good as shipyard, Erdinger, a bit sweeter and refreshing, doombar-Don’t go there, St. Peter’s without-like drinking malt extract.
I tend to only drink what the awesome Barry's Bargains is stocking at the moment, so this week it's Clausthaler, which I'm pleased to say is a nicely hoppy lager, almost IPA. Decent tipple and you could easily mistake it for alcoholic.
And at £4 for 24 in Barry's it's a bargain alright!
