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.

Golden colour, rather fizzy. Bottle looks nice, taste is a bit sweet, slight apple but not too pronounced, no pronounced sourness. Quite refreshing. No real big flavours. Drinkable for more or less all tastes I assume, not enough character to ultimately love it. (From 300mL bottle)

0.75l bottle from the big Match in Leuven. Pale golden body, not much head. Appley, slighty vinegary/acidic nose, that turned sweetish. Yeah, demi-sec heh. Slightly corky pleasant sweetish cider with a veery light underlying acidity that saves the taste. Slightly too fizzy mouthfeel. The corkiness goes into the aftertaste. Bit light. The appley notes are sourish and nice.
