Courtney's Light comes from the Whiteways of Whimple orchard in Devon, where cider has been made for generations. The apples are hand-picked on site and pressed straight to fermentation — a process that's straightforward but uncommon at this price point. No sulphites are added, which is notable. At 0.5% ABV and just 21 calories per 100ml, it sits firmly in low-alcohol territory. The case Courtney's make for their Light cider is that it tastes like real cider. It's a fair claim. The apple character comes through clearly — not the synthetic apple flavouring that haunts many AF alternatives, but something that reads as genuine fruit. It's a medium dry style, with a light natural carbonation and none of the cloying sweetness used to mask the absence of alcohol. It's vegan, gluten free, and widely available online. If you're after a straightforward low-alcohol cider from a proper cider producer rather than a drinks corporation, this is worth a look.
