Strongbow Orange Blossom has a spring-like fresh orange blossom aroma and a smooth yet sweet complexity that goes from the nose to the palate with a fine texture that is well balanced. It finishes with a just the right citrus and floral notes for a delicious and refreshing taste.

Kroger bottle. Pours pinkish with a small white head that's nearly gone by the time I type this. Aroma is candy-fake-orange, apple jolly rancher. This is going to be shit. Well, flavor isn't as bad as I imagined, but that's not to say it's good. Flintstone's vitamins, orange jolly rancher, sugar water, sweet tea. Horrendous overall.

Crystal clear golden coloured body with a light copper glow and no head at all. Aroma of apples, citrus, oranges and a lot of pure honey and a lot of sweetness throughout. Light-bodied; Strong orange flavour with a bunch of honey and other sweetness along with some moderate apple and pear flavours, but this really is about full oranges and honey, and that's about it. Aftertaste shows sweetness with a touch of the oranges and apples, but the flavours are pungent, and there is no biterness nor pungency at all here. Overall, a decent cider that shows some oranges and a lot of sweetness, but not much characteristics other than those and absolutely no complexity. That said, it still is very easy-drinking and nice sample, especially in a small format! I sampled this 5,1 ounce can (small little guy) purchased from Total Wine in Arlington (Ballston), Virginia on 11-March-2017 for US$1,00 for a mixed four pack, sampled at home in Washington on 10-November-2017.

Clear bottle, color is very clear with an orange tint. Smell is perfumy and it has a somewhat good initial taste. Sweet, yes, but a little more acceptable and real tasting compared to many sweet ciders. Quite reserved and easy going for a sweet fruited cider, civilized and generous in the attitude category. Goes down way too easy, hoping sugar does not affect the tummy. Good co2 level clear to the end. Yes, way too much like a mildly orange soda. Can barely perceive any cider or alky in this one.

Sampled from a bottle this cider poured a pale peach color with a medium sized soapy off white head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was sweet apple and orange. The flavor as very sweet with notes of orange, apple and pear. Long finish. Medium body. Well done.
