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 a Delhaize in Leuven. Poured a yellow-golden, clear body. Slightly vinuous, sulphury appley aroma. While initially seemingly balanced, the sweetness starts to dominate in this one, something you don’t expect in a 7% cider. Slightly dusty and very lightly funky, so as not to offend anyone I guess, this ends up being a drink that’s sorta enjoyable, but for the presentation and the name, a disappointment, just nothing too special.

Ozezwiajacy i musujacy cydr belgijski, szemrzace babelki wspaniale buzuja jak w winie musujacym lub szampanie. Nuty cytrusowe pachna i smakuja fajnie, troche slodkawe ale nie przytlaczajace.

Rating found in my telephone: Bottle @ home. Clear golden yellow colour with no head. Smells apple and a bit like grapes. Tastes refreshing, applejuice, sweet but also slightly sour. Easy to drink, helps when you’re thirsty.

Bottle @ home. Clear orange-golden color, virtually no head. Aroma and taste are a bit winey with some apple. Don’t get much more, but it’s not bad actually. Could have been a lot worse.

Elegancki trochę wytrawny lecz nie gożki. Lekka słodycz przełamuję wytrawność. Po ożeźwieniu i przełknięciu trochę rozgrzewa w gardle, a to za sprawą najwyższego procentu alkoholu jaki miałem doczynienia z cydrem, ale sprytnie on ukryty

Dobry i świeży musujący aromat. Gasi pragnienie jeśli jest odpowiednio schłodzony. Podobny do smaku jabłkowego ale mimo to takze wyczuwalny swiezy smak swiezo zebranych gruszek prosto z ogrodu.

Dobrze zbalansowany cydr, orzeźwiający, świeży. Słodki lecz nie nachalne i lekko na finiszu wytrawne. Wspaniale musuje w kieliszku. Polecam

23/06 A 0.33 l bottle courtesy of Marko, thanks for sharing! It poured clear golden body with medium sized head. Industrial apple juice aroma. Flavor was actually better, slightly sweet but more tart, leaving the fresh and natural apple impression. Medium bodied with quite short and sharp finish. Acceptable cider, pleasant and even refreshing.
