Bottle 500ml. clear glass.Clear medium orange color with virtually none head. Aroma is moderate apple, whisky ala a Canadan Dry (ginger beer) with whisky, (give me good thoughts since in the old days a did drink a lot of Canadan Dry with whisky in the summer at the patio ;O)). Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet with a average to long duration, light whisky but w/o alcohol. Body is medium, texture is watery to creamy, carbonation is soft. [20100205]

Bottled. A dark golden cider with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of apples and a bit of citrus. The flavor is sweet with thick notes of apples with a thick body, and a lightly tart finish. Nice one.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Clear golden with hardly any head. Sweet apple aroma. Medium body, a little low in carbonation, sweet and clean apple accents with the alcohol almost completely hidden. A dangerously easy drink. 200210

Bottle, 7.2%. Shiny golden colour. There is almost no aroma, but the flavour is distinct. Quite sweet flavour, some apple, a bit of acid. OK balance, acidic and sweet.
