Little head, gold body and lots of carbonation, just about "blah" for a cider. Very, very soft apple aroma, not too exciting for a cider. Flavour is white wine with apples, complex and welcoming in fact. Soft finish. Not one for looks, but this stuff is in fact tasty and worth a try.

$1 can from New Beer. Rounded pint glass. Worn, gold color. Strong initial fizz leaves just barely a ring of head. Smell is of glue, warm Carlo Rossi Rhine wine, fermenting runoff, & a general lack of character. Taste is odd. Sharp & bittersweet upfront, turning a yogurt-y sour at the end. Grainy, dry finish. Twinge of carbonation. Preservatives are sufferable. Lingering throat burn. All that added sugar reveals itself as it warms. My head hurts.

Single 33 cl bottle, $1.29 @ Binnys. Pours with a singular gushy fizz sound I’m hearing when I have a bottled cider. Clear apple juice color, just a few trickles of bubbles. Smell is a mix of sweet and tart apple, but some sugar and preservative are in the nose as well. Taste is, well, just what it says. Fermented apple juice with carbonated water, Some notes of bleach. Meant to be slammed at a bar, not intended for contemplation.
