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.

31/XII/19 - 33cl bottle @ Ardennes holiday, BB: VII/2020 - (2019-2229) Thanks to the ladies for sharing some of their apple cider! ;-)
Clear yellowish cider, no head, very sugary impression, lots of bread yeast, hint of vanilla, boxed apple juice. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: apple juice, sugary, sweet apples, hint of apple peel, slightly acidic. Aftertaste: sourish touch, sugary apple juice.

Bottle from AH. Pale golden with some bubbles. Sweet applejuice, winegums, light sickly fruit tea with tons of sugar, fake chemical aromas, hollow, soulless bombastic sweetness. Quite sweet, light bitter. Medium body and soft carbonation. Sugary mouthfeel, pointless, alcoholic soda pop.
