Bottle, Deep, slightly dark gold color. Aroma is sweet apple with hints of the oak barrel comes through. Taste is fresh apple, one of the better ones out there.

Can. Clear golden body with a small and fast disappearing white head. Aroma is apple with a little hint of sulfide. Flavor is sweet, but refreshing, quite clean apple, hint of sulfide. Medium, quite balanced body and decent aftertaste. Not very complex and a bit on the sweeter side but actually quite nice and very drinkable.

Bottle at the Back of Beyond. Surely non alcoholic cider is actually apple juice?! So what is this drink I see before me then? Well, it's gold, with a light to middling fizz. It tastes of sweet apple juice, artificial sweeteners and fake. Fake what, I hear you ask. Well, I can't quite put my finger on it, it's just generalised fakeness. I don't normally like artificial sweeteners or fake flavours, but oddly and to my shame I'm rather enjoying this. It tastes nothing like cider, but if you ignore that it's quite alright. Even the body isn't horrendously thin, unlike most non-alcoholic drinks. That said, I'd still choose an apple juice over this if I couldn't have alcohol and fancied a cidery-type thing. Apple juice definitely feels closer to real cider than this does.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso la mela. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è media. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è rotondo. La forza gustativa è normale e permane in maniera sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di mela, miele, pane cotto di recente ed erbaceo.

Аромат как у выдохшивося сидра, воспринимается как спрайт на минималках, яблоки только как химия. Цвет почти прозрачный, немного в желтизну. Вкус тоже как газировка, есть какие то яблочки, но на минималках, как будто намеки на грушу, много сахара. В целом ок, но на раз.

Запах какой то сразу не естественный, есть грейпфрут конечно с апельсином, но воспринимается как газировка. Цвет темно красный, пены почти нету. Вкус такой же, как газировка без особого вкуса кроме немного химозного апельсина. Строго на раз.
