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. A golden-colored, sparkling beer topped by a small, dense, white head. A bit one-dimensional nose, nice apples though, and with some yeast notes and grassy fields. Slightly too sweet flavor I think, with apples and some yeast. Almost sticky on the palate, medium fullness and decent astringency. Apples in the finish. A quite ncie one, nothing more. 090919
