Pale blond colour, without head. Sweet-sourish aroma. Smells a little bit like lambic or wine. Fruit flavour, also like wine or lambic. Though, it is a quite one-dimensional. The true question is: "Is it rational to call it beer?"

After always seeing this grouped with the rest of the "Mike's Hard Lemonade"-type drinks at beer stores I was never in any hurry to try it. Tasted on draught at The Claddagh in Columbus, OH. Pours a light gold color with virtually no head or lacing. Apple aroma. Light-bodied and dry, and it tastes like most other Cider beers. The finish is all watery fruit. This is just not my thing.

The only thing the bar I went to had on tap that I haven't sampled yet...so I tried this. I'm not an expert by any means on Apple Ciders, but this was pretty good. No hint of any alcohol, but a clean taste!

This is an ok cider, fairly sweet, not very complex. Its like a tradeoff between Bulmers. Bulmers has more flavor, lighter more carbonated taste. I'll take a bulmers

Rerate, 275 ml clear bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.3%. Golden colour. Pours moderately fizzy with no head to speak of. Moderate aroma of cider apples and sulphites, hints of oak. Thin and watery mouthfeel. The very moderate flavour is quite dry, with notes of oxidised cider apples and sulphites.

Bland, golden cider with lifeless apple and alcohol notes. No complexity. Not awful but as cider goes there is much better out there in Normany, England, Quebec and Vermont.
