5.1 oz. sampler can. 5.0 ABV. Pours a crystal clear light gold color with a tiny white head and poor retention. Spots of lacing. Strong apple aroma. Sweet apple cider flavor with a dryer finish than I hoped/expected.

Vo vlaku. Vona vyrazna jablkova. Farba zlatista. Chut jablkova sladkasta perliva. Prijemny.

Sampled from 0.5 l can from local 'LIDL' as ' Strongbow Gold Apple' at 4.5% abv, best before May 2019. Clear, pale golden with a thin, fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, a little sourish, quite fruity and just a little artificial aroma of green apples and hints of pear. Quite sweet, minimally sourish, quite fruity and minimally artificial taste of green apples and some pear, followed by a short, slightly tart, a bit dry finish. Thin to medium body, quite effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Decent cider, but too sweet.

15/VII/18 - on tap @ Gentopia (Kinderdorp Gentse Feesten) - BB: n/a (2018-839)

Note: not entirely sure it's this version, but it was draft, so not a super rare one, yet also not very sweet and sugary, so I'm guessing it's this one. Also, the banners on the stand showed pictures of the Gold and some fruit variety. As to be expected, the ones tapping had no clue...
Clear bright yellow cider, no head, just a couple of small bubbles at the rim of the glass. Aroma: apple juice, apple skin, green and yellow apple, slightly sweet impression, doesn't smell too bad actually. MF: very lively carbon (probably because it's on draft), medium body. Taste: alcohol kick up front (weird), little bitter, bit sourish, apple juice, bit sugary but not overly sweet. I've had much sweeter and worse ciders than this one, TBH. Question is of course what they've added, probably a bunch of chemical stuff. Hell, I'll look it up. Here you go: "Water, cider (fermented apple juice with glucose), glucose-fructose syrup, caramel, citric acid, carbon dioxide, sodium metabisulhite, natural flavouring, sulphites"

5.1 ounce can from a really cheap and cool 4 pack sampler pack. Pours a clear golden hue. A nice sweet apple nose. Sugary, very sweet, almost slick apples. Fleshy sweet apples. Not bad.

Clear golden pour with an intense apple aroma. Flavor is very sweet apple cider, slight tartness at the start with sweet finish.

11.2 oz bottle. Aroma is apples, wet stone. Pours crystal clear pale golden with a thin crackling white head that falls immediately into a ring. Taste is sweet and tart and basic as cider can be. It tastes good and is simple and clean with no off flavors. It's definitely not exciting, but I didn't expect it to be. It is what it is, as thousands of dipshits say every day.

Cider number 2 for tonight, can from LCBO. Pours a light golden-yellow colour with a big frothy white cap, and long stay with creamy thick lacing. Don't think I ever got that from a cider (as usually fizzes away quickly). Apple nose at first, but not too crazy, and seems like real apples. Maybe some yellow apples. Quite malty, then yeasty and even some hops it seems in the end. The taste is a little sweeter, but not to rich, to not like. Apples and good sugars will say. Don't remember Strongbow feeling like you are drinking a beer, but an apple one. This "Gold" one sure seams like it. Pretty nice!
