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.

Fles geprobeerd bij Lounge 8. Het is een goudgeel vocht met weinig schuim. Het heeft een zoete appel achtige geur en smaak. Beetje droog in de afdronk.

Clear bottle, yeast on bottom. Hey, these guys are ripping me off an ounce! Cloudy light pale. Smells like good apple cider. Tastes like decent apple cider too. Goes down very easy, seems to have a bit of unfermented sugar in there. Yes, has a good apple taste without any of the ill effects of typical dry apple cider. Bubbly from the start, cutting on the palate. Swish bottle gets dregs off the bottom and swirls into the glass. Must admit, much better than my own homemade apple cider. Not bad, as good as the other strongows? I thionk so! I like these 'bows and they border between the fru-fru-fru-cider of woodchuck but they have the civilized attitude of old western GB. OK stassen but not as good as bulmers.

750ml bottle. brudno pomaranczowa barwa, musujace wrazenia, aromat rozowej pomaranczy, w smaku rozowe grejfruty, sycylijskie pomarancze i oczywiscie liczi. Nuta kwaskowa jest, moglo by byc jej wiecej. Ogolnie bardzo podobne do piwa Chytra Baba z Pivovarii.

750 ml bottle. Alez mocno owocowe, lekko kwaskowe, ale dominuje slodycz, troche jak oranzada z cytryn i grejfrutow. Jaskrawo zolta barwa jak likier jajeczny, bardzo musujace, ale niestety czkawka zostala

Pours clear blonde. SMALL white ring of foam, surprisingly stable. Smell is apple, sharp, tad sweet, straight forward. No funk, rather industrial. Taste is full, apple, intensely carbonated. Not bad, but rather industrial.

30cl bottle from Sterk, Amsterdam. Golden colour, white foam head that dissipates away and fruity apple aroma with some core. Taste is sweetish, fruity apple, with some green & cooked apple notes, and a slight tartness. Light bodied, spritzy carbonation, semi-dry finish. OK
