AW, is a form of 
, but not the fizzy stuff made in big factories. It's usually made in small vats, and the flavour is improved by leaving vent-holes at the top big enough for rats to fall inside and drown. Any fur remaining is skimmed off the top, and skeletons fished out before bottling... 
(Modern "Health and Safety" types are no fun, so nowadays a good Scrumpy will have had a leg of pork or some other lump of meat which has been certified "safe for human consumption" thrown in and left till it falls apart...)
I'm a regular drinker, but the first time I tried real "White" Scrumpy was in the Bluebell Cider House just outside Birmingham (UK). By "White" I don't mean "clear" as in modern "Ice White" derivatives, but looking more like a solution of 50/50 milk-and-water, with lumpy bits (apple pulp... honest...) floating in it. The house rule was "only one pint of white Scrumpy per person per visit", but I went to two different barmen and managed to get two. I then went out and got in the car (passenger!) and sat chatting to my friend as he drove us to his mother's house to pay her a visit. We drew up outside and I opened the door, then fell out onto the pavement flat on my face! 
I was completely lucid, and my brain was otherwise unaffected (mostly) but I had absolutely no control over my lower limbs. My friend and his mother had to carry me up two flights of stairs to throw me on a bed for two hours till I regained the use of my legs! Good stuff...

That's the defining characteristic of being drunk on scrumpy - your legs go before your brain. That, my dad maintains, is why there are no scrumpy-louts!
I happen to know there's a damn good entry on scrumpy 'pending'...

Thank you very kindly, Peet, for your definitive answer. I enjoyed that.
I must admit that the stuff sounds utterly loathsome, especially with the meaty bits. However, if I'm ever in need of a good anesthetic, I may go for it!!
Have a y'all.
