Originally rated December 2008. Cider of the month at the LCBO, I guess ??!? Pours a light golden colour with heavy carbonation. Its head is white, has no lacing, disappears fast (like pretty much all ciders), but a little coating tops the brew (because of the carbonation). The aromas are made of apple juice and grain, with a mild cider vinegar scent in the back. The mouthfeel is surprisingly not carbonated, but watery. The flavours are pretty dull. Just a tad of watered-down apple juice and hardly any finish. Really, nothing to taste. Not an interesting cider.

Can at home with Lyoli. Ladies and gents, this is not a joyful drink. Clear, light gold pour with a filmy head. Dank apples on the nose with hints of paint thinner. Medium sweet flavor, faint apples, artificial, bit of booze. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Warming finish, alcohol, light apples. Uhhhhh. It is drinkable, so if crunk is your goal this should take care of things.

Can from supermarket in Mosonmagyarovar, Hungary. Yellow color with no head. Aroma, like citrus lemonade, taste pretty the same. Could be refreshing in hot summer days, maybe...

$1 can from New Beer. Rounded pint glass. Worn, gold color. Strong initial fizz leaves just barely a ring of head. Smell is of glue, warm Carlo Rossi Rhine wine, fermenting runoff, & a general lack of character. Taste is odd. Sharp & bittersweet upfront, turning a yogurt-y sour at the end. Grainy, dry finish. Twinge of carbonation. Preservatives are sufferable. Lingering throat burn. All that added sugar reveals itself as it warms. My head hurts.

500ml can from corner shop drunk on train on way to London. Basic apple-ade like aroma which carries on into flavour along with a lot of hot nasty heat from alcohol. Fairly basic and really pretty nasty. Not overly sweet but a nasty metallic flavour.
