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.

5.1 oz. sampler can. Pours a cloudy apple sauce color with a tiny white head that quickly vanished. No lacing. Dry apple aroma. Lightly sweet apple flavor followed by a fairly dry and tart finish. Pretty middle of the road cider. 6.0% ABV is well hidden.

5.1 oz. sampler can. 5.0 ABV. Pours a crystal clear light gold color with a tiny white head and poor retention. Spots of lacing. Strong apple aroma. Sweet apple cider flavor with a dryer finish than I hoped/expected.
