A classical Belgian cider crafted with 100% fresh apple juice from Jonagold apples (no concentrate) and its unique organic yeast with a hint of elderberry and muscat grape.
Pressed, fermented and bottled in Belgium. Deliciously refreshing over ice.

Cidre Ruwet Elderberry 4.5% A deep amber orange with the slightest hint of pink. Big sweet apple aroma with a blossom like floral-fruity thing that I’m guessing is the elderberries plus just a hint of cork cider mustiness. Medium to light bodied and semi-dry. This is quite sweet with the more complex elderberry at first with a somewhat slick apple finish. Definitely a sweet cider. I preferred the standard Ruwet cider.

Bottle from Geers. Cloudy amber pink colour. Sweet nose of honey, elderberries, along with light tartness and sweet apple juice. Too sweet.

330ml bottle from Dranken Geers, Gent. Pours gold with rose hints. Aroma is soapy, some berry hints. Taste is similarly soapy, floral with some pot pourri, no discernible elderberry, and no apple cider flavours. Light, clean, moderately sweet. Pure alco-pop.

Spritziger, relativ süßer aber natürlicher Antrunk von Apfel und Holunder. Rund, sehr süffig, die Süße stört zum Ende leicht. 10/9/10/9//10

Pours clear, peachcolored. Smell is intense, dry, juicy ( bit sweet ) . Taste is intense, very fruity, almost soapy, but on the border of still OK . Sweet, way sweeter than the apple version. OK, but a bit too ’soda’ like for me

Very aromatic and floral. Flavour of elderberries and elderflower. Also some earthy notes. A bit too intense.
