Pours clear blonde, small white head. Smell is sweet, apples. Some Sugar. even though it sounds awefull (to myself ) i can’t say I really dislike it. Taste is sharp, intense apples ( bit sugary as well ) sweet, high carbo. mild, ’unnatural’ background, tastes a bit ... earthy (?) almost. Perhaps a bit chemical as well, but not overly so. All and all, agreeable to what it is, for sure, and the apples they used ( or where the chemicals are inspired on, who knows ) are really great. I recognize the specific applle taste from the ice ciders I love so much. of course, both are uncomparable in quality and taste, and I’m only talking about the variety of apples when I dare to compare both. OK cider. too much carbonation to me though.
