Bottle. Pours with a clear golden body and a small white head. Aroma of apple juice, must, sulfur and jolly ranchers. Flavor is excessively sweet and artificial, with a tangy candy and artificial sweetness apple flavor. Fizzy and thin with a sticky finish. Why oh why can’t mass produced ciders be real ciders?

Golden with a small white head.. Vineous apple aroma. Sweetish but refreshing clean apple flavour. After a week of oak aged, brett-y English ciders it’s rather boring, but drinkable and refreshing.

Bottle. It pours a clear, orange-golden body with no head, just some wite bubbles. Yellow apples, some acidic lemon notes, and a touch of minerals and sulphur on the nose. Lemony, astringent flavor with a good dash of yellow apples and some peel from green ones. Some minerals. Medium body, astringent and teeth cleansing. Lasting apple flavored finish. A quite boring and uninteresting cider, but with some qualities. (090225)

Bottled (had in 2006). Pale yellow colour with no head. Aroma is sweet apples, some wood and mild notes of plastic pipe. Flavour is rather sweet apples with quite a "bite" to it. Sparkling, but smooth carbonation.
