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 @ home. Clear golden color, virtually no head. Smell and taste are both very sweet and hold in the middle between apple and pear. Very sweet but not too bad.

Süßer Geruch von Apfelringen. Relativ süßer Anrunk, der ähnlich wie der Geruch, an Apfelringe erinnert. Die starke Süße bleibt lange erhalten und wirkt anderen Aromen entsprechend entgegen, wenig herb. Süffig und gar nicht mal schlecht aber irgendwie...SÜẞ. 7/8/9/8/9/7
