0.33 l bottle from local 'REWE'. Clear, red with a thin, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Intensely sweetish, a little sourish, quite fruity and a bit artificial aroma of raspberry juice, light apple and a touch of gummy bear. Very sweet, slightly sourish, quite fruity and a little artificial taste of raspberry juice, gummy bear, some apple and hints of wood, followed by a short, slightly tart finish. Thin body, minimally astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Overly sweet, sugary and even a bit artificial, not good at all.

At a tasting, thanks, almost no head, clear deep pink color, artificial aroma of raspberries, same dominating trait in flavor, quite strong and heavy sweetness, quite strong sourness that does not completley blends in. Again, not really a cider altough a bit refreshing.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L's place. Thanks Stas. Reddish orange. Raspberry candy, sweet, sugary, a bit of apple. Candy-ish but OK and easy-drinking.

Bottle from Hema shared at home. Red with quick diminishing white head. Sparkly. Very sweet raspberry lemonade, with a juicy apple base. Very very hardcandy sweet, fruity tartness in the finish. About medium body and lots of sparkling. I find this way too sweet. Just sparkly candy lemonade.
