proper (sort of) Explanation: It carries with it a few slightly nuanced meanings, but generally that of "proper", "substantial", "real"...a bit of an irony since the actual product is anything but. At any rate, it is not a compound word. |

down-to-earth, earthy Explanation: I agree that it means trustworthy, reliable, and proper, and another way of looking at someone with all of those attributes is to say that the person is "down-to-earth" or has a solid, unpretentious, down-to-earth character. In the context of drinks, that makes me think of "earthy," a term that evokes nature, flavors, etc. and would seem fitting in describing cider/beer. |
