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.

5.5% 248 yen from 7-Eleven in Shin-Tanabe. A nice head with a mild sweet apple aroma on a clear gold body. The taste is very palatable sweet apple, it’s tart, slightly sour with a dry finish. Quite nice.

Bottle @ home. Clear colored like white wine, no head. Aroma is like sweet white wine. Taste sweetness, slightly apple. Low body, average carbonation. Not a lot to it, but as a lot of massproduced stuff there are no flaws.

Pale colour, minimal head. Aroma a bit like half-sweet white wine, a bit peer. Medium sweetness. Lacks some complexity and something to make it outstanding, but still it’s quite a nice cider.
