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.

Bottle @ tasting shared by Inoven. Clear golden color, no head. Very sweet, sweet ripe apple and sugar. Very easy drinkable. Tastes like a cheap party drink for teenage girls. Not unpleasant though, I must admit.

Can. Like most of Strongbow's line this is also too sweet, although not as sweet as some of the others. Apple aroma and sweet apple juice flavor.
