12oz’er. Less tart than I was expecting. The usual English/Irish macrobrewed cider taste. Some alcohol notes in the finish - a gentle reminder of the 6%. Could probably drink a couple of these... not annoyingly sweet which haunts this style. Pretty good.

12 oz bottle. Clear yellow with no head. The aroma is typical cider - sweet, wine, sugar. The taste is apple, smooth, no trace of any alcohol, dry finish.

Not a bad coder for what it is. A bit too sweet for my tastes. More carbonation than i like

ApisAles (1153) - Greenbelt, Maryland, USA - MAR 23, 2008
Not a bad cider for being commercial mass produced. Golden color with a lot of carbonation that fades quickly. Kind of like Sprite. Fairly sweet, but a bit of a dry kick is present. Kind of a "sticky" mouthfeel. Ok, but not the best.

Capa (1544) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 30, 2007
Sweet green apple aroma. Flavor is much like apple juice, not cider. Pretty boring overall. Can’t detect the 6% so i guess thats nice. Overly sweet. Nope.

Exclusively rubber smell. Clear yellow. Dry taste, watery, sour, and a little like piss. The one bright spot is the alcohol, if it has any, is masked. It’s just plain awful.
