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 from local AH. White wine coloured. Nose and flavour are perfumy, light apple, and of course very sweet. Bubbly apple juice.

Golden. Sweet and sugary apple with a light tart aroma. Flavor is smooth and sugary. A bit of apple tartness. Refreshing even if it is a tad too sweet. Smoother and less sulfuric than standard Strongbow- I prefer the gold.

bottle - Pours clear, pale gold. It smells of sugary apples. The flavor is also of sweet apples. There’s a touch of tartness but mostly it’s just sweet and tastes a bit artificial. Just okay.

Sampled from bottle shared by a friend. Clear red color, virtually no head. Smell and taste sweetness, strawberry raspberry flavor, sweet candy, sugary. Low body, average carbonation. Not too bad actually, though not at all a real cider.

Bottle, crystal clear gold colour, smallish head, fizzy carbonation, pasturized apple aroma with some mineral notes, sickly sweet fruity flavour. Really bad.

Bottle from Tesco at Miskolc. Aroma slightly overripe, simple, very light vinegary, but no problem. Clear golden colour. Taste goes in the established direction. Simple, rather sweet.
