Clear pale golden pour, no head to sepak of. Aromas of sweet apples, hints of oak and vanilla. First taste was pear, but then apple, oak, vanilla. Not bad and distictively different from apple juice, but also not as tart/flavourfull as alcoholic ciders.

500ml bottle shared with Soph on the second sunny day of the year. Pours a clear reddish orange. Aroma of cheap kids orange carton. Taste brings to mind orange ice pops and orange juice carton. Doesn't bear much resemblance to a cider but tastes nice enough.
