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 shared in Hackney - cheers to Fergus. Pours clear light pink with a frothy, white head. Fairly sweet, some sugary and ripe apples, mild tangy berries, nips of alcohol. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Sweet finish, some champagne-like character, more rich apples, berry accents. Solid.

Bottle from M&S. It pours clear yellow - gold with a foamy, fluffy white cap. The aroma is soft, sweet, fruity, white grape juice, sweet apple, gooseberry, touch cracker and fruit skin. The taste is crisp, clean, dry, touch of tartness, mellow sweetness, apple upfront, creamy, apple skin, white grape, appletiser and hay with a dry finish. Medium body and prickly, effervescent carbonation. Quite classy stuff. Perhaps a touch sweet for my liking, but bad.
