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.

11.2 oz bottle. Aroma is apples, wet stone. Pours crystal clear pale golden with a thin crackling white head that falls immediately into a ring. Taste is sweet and tart and basic as cider can be. It tastes good and is simple and clean with no off flavors. It's definitely not exciting, but I didn't expect it to be. It is what it is, as thousands of dipshits say every day.

Lys gul klar med lavt hvitt skum. Lukter epler, pære og noe rabarbra. Søt smak av epler. Ikke for søt.

30cl bottle, thanks to ShivanDragon for this! Drunk in the sun. Pours a clear pale gold, artificially sweet apple sour aroma. Taste is moderately sticky, syrupy, artificially sweet apple flavouring. Not overly sweet or sugary, thankfully, and relatively drinkable for a commercial cider.

330 ml bottle. Pours with a clear, golden color and only a tiny white head. Nose is apples, sugar. Taste is sweet, apples, slightly malty, spicy with a nice dry finish. Not bad.

Bottle post-work from bargain bin at drinks shop. Sweet apple aroma, winegum, gummy bear candy. Big sweet and light wood/nutty bitter. Medium sugary thickness, soft sparkle. This doesn't hit my cider spot, nice boosted soda. --- Beer merged from original tick of Original on 21 Feb 2018 at 17:09 - Score: 4

Sehr süßer, extrem künstlicher Antrunk nach Himbeeren. Als hätte man ein Kaubonbon im Mund, langer künstlicher Nachhall. Untrinkbar. 9/4/3/3/4/3

Kroger bottle. Hazy golden with a white head that quickly disappears. Aroma from 2 feet away is jolly ranchers, closer up it's strong jolly ranchers. Flavor is not as sweet as the nose would lead me to believe, but it is backed by plenty of sugar. Apple, apple, apple, sugar. Finishes kinda dry... but still candy water.
