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.

5.1 oz baby can. Smells like apples, by golly! Has a vague sulfury match head type note, too. A bit floral. Pours hazy golden with a fleeting white head. Taste is sweet and tart, finishing dry. Basic, but it tastes good.

0.33 l bottle from 'Speciaalbierpakket.nl', best before October 2020. Sweetish, slightly sourish, gently fruity and a bit woody aroma of ripe apples and hints of pear. Slightly sweet, a little sourish, gently fruity taste of ripe apples, some white grapes and a touch of wood, followed by a short, slightly tart, gently dry and a bit woody finish. Thin to medium body, minimally astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Very decent cider, pretty close to sparkling wine.

Can. It's a clear golden colored drink with some white bubbles. The aroma is apple driven, but in a very sweet way. Some grass too. It's medium bodied, quite dry, yet with a light sticky feeling. Nice co2 level. Sweet apple flavor with white sugar, grass and some apple cores. Short finish. Not much interesting going on here. 190608

Can as Apfel Räuber Cider. Bubblegum, apple nectar, sweetener. Sugary sweetness. Light bodied, watery bodied, soft carbonated, sweet finish. Everything what you expect from a Heineken cider.

Fles thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een helderkleure drank, beetje witte wijn achtig. Het heeft ook een wijn achtige geur en smaak. Niet mijn ding.

Flesje geprobeerd bij KimH. Het is een helder roodkleurig iets, zonder schuim. De geur is kunstmatig fruit. De smaak is zoet en snoep achtig. Het drinkt lekker weg .
