Essential elements- Apple, cherry

Appearance - Deep pink and clear with a light, lacy head that quickly dissipates.

Aroma - Crisp, clean apple cider, round, ripe tart cherry.

Experience - Tart cherry sweetness up front with full, yet crisp fermented cider. Heavy apple skin compliments the cherry. Sweet, creamy honey rounds the flavor and balances the tartness of the cherry. Light carbonation lifts the flavor while the honey smooths the overall mouthfeel. Finishes crisp and clean.

Aroma of apples, sweet cherry, honey. Flavour is quite sweet with some tart apples in the finish. I’m not much of a fan of this kind of drink, but I found this one okay.

Pours gold and smells of ripe apples and cherries. The flavor is sweet and mostly of ripe apples. It’s sweet without seeming sugary as it’s more a rich apple flavor with a touch of tartness. Very nice.

Both flavors and aromas are a nice blend of slightly tart cider with slightly tart cherries that complement each other very well. Great body and carbonation with a finished that follows flavors. Super drinkable.

Ja tez tak jak Zombie nienawidze az tak slodkich cydrow. Moze tu za duzo miodu dodali bo zlodkie ze az zeby wypadaja. ciutke owocowe ale miod zakryl wszystko. zero piany, zero musujacego efektu, barwa pomaranczowa. najlepsza to etykieta, ale ta ocena wysoka nieco mnie smieszy. Zombie powinni krzyczec: Normandia The best!

Bottle pours out pink topped with a small head. Nose is great sweet apples and berries. Taste is more of the nice sweet apple notes with an amazing berry combo. O man this is great.

Bottle. A- Bread dough, mild cherry, honey, apple juice. A- Peach pink color, clear liquid, no head. T- Mild cherry, mild vanilla, honey, apple. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly dry finish. O- This bottle was way past the best by date. I think about 8 months to a year to be exact. But when you come across a plethora of B. Nektar bottles and Zombie Killer is an option you go for it. A nice cider that was almost mead like. Lots of honey and a fair amount of cherry. For a Top 10 cider, I expected more but to be fair, it is old. Would like to try more B. Nektar now.
