Uniform, very carbonated (if knocked-out quite fast) metallic golden liquid with a shortlived small, translucent to white B.C."H." Dusty apples & glue; sweetish with a hint at fruit - apple - acidity. Oxydized flavour, old & dusty; finish however consisting of slightly sourish apples and much better, with a small perfumed extra, not unmindful of wild strawberries, but also partly artificial. Fizzy despite the knocked-out CO², slick and strang acidification. I’m not entirely convinced. BTW, it’s demi-sec, rather than dry.

33cl bottle in Ghana, as 4.9% Couleur dorée/brunatre tel le jus de pomme, mousse est pétillante/blanche. Arôme est moyen donnnant juste qcq touche de pomme. En bouche, un cidre léger avec une note moyenne de pomme et fine aigreur. Le tout garde cet aspect de pellure de pomme avec un fini citrique avec une touche sucrée.

33cl bottle in Accra, Ghana. Couleur dorée claire, mousse est legère et blanche diparaissant assez vite. Arôme de pomme allant sur un aspect champagne En bouche, un cidre sympa, pomme et sulfite avec un gout en bouche qui reste un peu trop citrique, de ce fait cela a tendance à dominer le palais.

Clear golden colour, slight white head which disappears fast. Scent of apples, sweetness, slight acidity and some fruit esters of which I’m not entirely sure if they came there naturally. Reminiscent of sticky pink bubblegum. Taste is rather sweet with a nice sour apple tone, though it stays with the tone only, the sour flavour itself is not really present. Somewhat artificial. When in South Africa it seemed quite allright, but even on a warm spring day in The Netherlands it can’t really enchant me anymore. Still much better than most of the Estonian ciders I’ve tasted though. (bottle, 330mL, 5,5% abv)

My first lounge cider. Air France lounge, OR Tambo, Jo’burg South Africa. 330 ml can. Clear golden color, moderate carbonation. Aroma of dried and slightly rotted apple skins. Taste is slightly sour, medium dry finish. Mediocre.

Bottle, shared by KimJohansen. A clear, almost golden cider with some white bubbles on top. Sulphury nose with apples in the back. Apples and apple cores in the flavor, rather dry, and medium body. Apple finish. Straight forward and uninteresting, but far from as bad as the industrial cider drinks from Scandinavia. Rating: 3-3-4-3-6-1.9. 100814
Bottle. A clear, a bit pale, golden cider with a thin layer of white bubbles on top. The aroma has some ripe apples, but it’s too sweetish. Some apple cores too. The flavor is on the sweet side, with apple cores and over-ripe apples. Some sulphury notes. Actually, too much sulphur. Medium to thin body, sweet, apple finish with sulphur. I have no idea why they put so much sulphur in a beverage. At first it’s not bad, but then the sugar and sulphur kicks in and ruins it all. 101002
