Description
The company was founded in 1895 by Léon Stassen (1852-1931), who produced cider with apples from his own orchard. In 1992 Stassen becomes part of the English group HP Bulmers. In 2003 join Stassen and HP Bulmers the S&N group (Scottish & Newcastle). After sole ownership by Bulmers and S&N, the company returned to the fourth generation family members led by Philippe Stassen in 2008, but was acquired by Heineken in 2012.

330ml bottle at Wolff & Beer, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Pours a crystal clear light yellow-gold color with no head or lacing. Juicy apple aroma. Tastes like sweet apple juice, as the name suggests, with a slightly dry finish. No beer here. Thin body. Low carbonation. Zero bitterness.

330ml bottle from Albert Heijn, Tilburg, drunk at Roadburn. No comment on appearance as drunk from the bottle. Light artificial raspberry sweetness, bringing to mind raspberry icing, doesn't taste like a cider whatsoever. Ok alcoholic raspberry 'drink'.

Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie ich einen Cidre 🍎 🍏 bewerten soll, aber wenn es dir Möglichkeit gibt, will ich es mal versuchen:
Dies ist ein industrieller Cider, den man überall zu bekommen ist -oftmals vom Fass im Irish Pub 🍀.
Er hat einen intensiven Apfelwein-Geschmack und bietet wad für Freunde von sauten als auch von süßen Getränken.
Grundsätzlich nix schlechtes, aber ich werde auf der Bierfront bleiben.

Macro musty cider, with some sweet, earthy ginger added. Finish is quite sweet, almost cloying, with an earthy ginger kick. Not great.
