Can. A small, white head forms over a mostly clear, golden body. The aroma is a bit boring, but with quite pleasant apples. Needs a bit more sourness in the flavor, which as the aroma is mostly on the apple side. Nothing hardcore cider stuff going on, still quite dry on the palate, and with a pleasant carbonation. Certainly much more interesting than the industrial Scandinavian ones, but far from the best ciders. 120405

Little head, gold body and lots of carbonation, just about "blah" for a cider. Very, very soft apple aroma, not too exciting for a cider. Flavour is white wine with apples, complex and welcoming in fact. Soft finish. Not one for looks, but this stuff is in fact tasty and worth a try.

Can. Artificial aroma of apples. Taste like cheep apple juice with yeast, tartness in background. Sour finish. Nothing special.

On tap @ the Mabie Hotel. Pours amber/orange with no head. The nose is of dry apples. The taste is of more dry, maybe stewed apples too. The palate generally works well - a decent amount of body through the start and middle and a very dry finish. For a massively produced and distributed cider this tastes fine.

Plastic bottle. Pale yellowish golden colour, with not too much head. Aroma is sugary sweet apples with mild vanilla as well. Flavour is sweet apples, mixed with some mild acidic and tart notes as well as some riped apples. Yet slightly artificial notes as well. Semi-mouthdrying due to the big sweetness.
