This had a strong smell of alcohol and a sour apple taste. Very bitter, with a similar aftertaste. Not a cider I would recommend.

A yellow cider with a white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of apples. The flavor is also sweet with primary notes of apples, but also some notes of wood, leading to a dry end. The body is thin for such a strong cider.

500 ml can. Bought by mistake when I was in a hurry just before closing time - thought it was an unrated beer! Fizzy sourish stuff. Watery mouthfeel. Gave me a heartburn - and I didnโt even finish the can! Industrial ciders like this one seem utterly pointless to me. Avoid!

Remarkably clear yellow. No head/lacing and low carbonation. Lives up to its label as dry. Like a white wine. The apple flavor is a bit weak, but fairly refrershing.

Can โ Poured a yellow colored liquid with almost no carbonation. Aroma of semi-rotten apple with some sweetness. Taste is very sweet but that aroma of rotten apple ruins it for me. Doesnโt taste too much like real apple. With 6% ABV this is probably a good way of getting drunk since you can drink lots of this easily.

Clear orange-tinted golden colour with the lack of any head. Aroma of a sweet white wine (notably Reisling) in addition to fragrant apples and sugar. Light-bodied; Sweet flavour of apples initially and fades to a quick freshness. Aftertaste bland and dry. Overall, a decent cider, not my favourite-but the alcohol is hidden well! I bought this bottle at the Opera House Gourmet in Manassas, Virginia and sampled it on 20-November-2003.

Light, fizzy, overwhelmed by sulphites in both aroma and flavour. Sweetish finish. Would be blandishly acceptable were it not for the sulphites.

Yellow, heavily carbonated. Good looking package. Not too sweet. Refreshing. I do wish the bottle was a little bigger.
