Can. Clear pale golden with white head. Looks very unpromising. Smells like pear drops, winegums and green apple candy. Tastes about the same. Very sugary, citric acid. Not dry at all, light sour. Yuck.

It doesn’t smell like cider, it doesn’t taste like cider and it’s not dry at all. It’s smells and taste like artificial apple/pear juice and it’s quite sweet with some added acid regulating something. Even the label explains that this is not made as a rateable cider here at Ratebeer. Should be marked as non-rateable. Please feel free to throw the dice at Untappd where eventing is rateable, but please keep RB clean.

Can at a burger festival in Helsinki. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma: sweet apple, synthetic, slight citric. Taste: moderate+ sweet, light tart apple. Light to medium body with moderate carbonation. Like a 'not too great' hard cider.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! --Clear pale golden, no head. Aroma of dried apple rings. Dry with slender body and rounded mouthfeel. Citric apple rings. Not much sign of fermentation, but a pretty drinkable tart-osh apple juice.

Can at Eckero MS Finlandia. Thin, moderately carbonated. Quite sweet, also compared to Crowmoor dry, which I had directly before it and that was much drier, even if not much better. This one has med-high sweetness, light sourness and tartness and bitterness. Off-balance, with very simple artificialish apple character.

Older tasting note from a ferry cruising - golden pour, taste was quite sweet, but acceptable. Nothing to remember, though.
