Bottled. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of apples as well as lighter notes of apple core. The flavor is very sweet - somewhat artificial and very strong notes of apples, as well as lighter notes of apple core, leading to a dry and slightly tart finish.

Bottled from AH. Clear golden color, short head. Aroma of apple juice. Sweet and sour apples in taste, bit carbonated. Ah well, it’s pretty ok drinkable.

Bottle, 5.5% ABV. A clear, yellowish golden body under a small, white head. Apples, bakers yeast and autumn air on the nose, quite orchard-ish. It’s slightly sour in the mouth, with some yeast and a good apple flavor. A bit boring though. Dry, slightly palate cleansing mouthfeel. I like the aroma of this one, but overall it’s a quite uninspired middle of the road cider. (090328)

Pale golden colour, small white head. Aroma has sweet apple and alcohol. Plain flavour of apple juice. Light bodied. Forgettable.

Might as well, right? Pale yellow with a brief white head. Tart apple aroma. Very sweet flavor. Tastes a lot like commercial apple juice with carbonation. Not much of a finish to speak of.

Pours with a small, fizzy, quickly diminishing, white head covering a clear staw yellow body with some extremely small things floating around. Aroma of dry apples, a chardonay note, and some oak. Taste is ever so slightly funky, and is off-balanced. Dry mouth with champagne fizzyness.

33 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and pale yellow with a fully diminished white head. Dry and acidic apple aroma. Sweet apple flavour with a mild acidic touch and a mild off-note that isn’t sulphorish as such. Ends sugarish sweet and refreshing.
