Description
Since the launch of Somersby in 2008, we like to think we have taken the world by storm. We went from 1 to over 50 markets in less than 10 years, and despite our short history, have become the biggest international cider brand in the universe.

0.33 l clear bottle which reveals its pale yellow body. Aroma of sweet apple juice. Fine sweetish, apple juice flavor, seems quite real and very slightly artificial. Nice longer sweet finish. Pleasant but way too simple and only a bit too sweet for my taste. However, it’s better than vast majority of commercial (non-French) ciders, so I can’t get low ratings. Do we have the same thing here?

0.33l bottle, distributed by Carlsberg Croatia. Pale yellow body with steady streams of carbonation and a tiny white head that went away fast. Distinct appley nose, like apple juice. What the fuck... apple juice mixed with vodka, sweet, almost sticky, trace acidity near the end to give it some semblance of drinkability. The ingredients list on this one says 30% apple wine (great, why is this on the site?) as the sole source of alcohol... I dread to think what that tastes like, if alcohol’s this bad in the heavily diluted version that is this "cider". Oh, it’s coloured by caramel too. Almost an epic fail, with the acidity saving it from that status. I mean, I’ve had cider of this type in Finland and Estonia and those were, if crap, quite drinkable and tasty for the aberrations that they are. This doesn’t manage to achieve even that. The only cider I can remember being worse than this is Blackthorn, which I overrated I guess. Ah, well.

Canned (from K Citymarket Kivihaka, can says produced at Sinebrychoff). Very pale yellow colour with virtually no head. Aroma is artificial pear with some artificial sweeteners (very hermesetas like). Flavour is rather much the same. Probably could do as a refreshening drink on a hot summers day, but otherwise quite useless.
