Lacks flavor. Way behind scrumpy jack or strongbow. Needs to be served ice cold. I had some warm and it was like horrible apple juice. Can be found in some pubs but you should try others instead.

Pour is a clear gold with no head. Aroma is of fake apples with tons of sugar. Flavor is about the same everything is artificial. Apple concentrate? I won’t even drink orange juice concentrate why would i drink it in a cider/beer.?

12oz bottle. Light golden and filtered. Spiced apples and a musty aroma. Rather thin. Rather light, Rather blah.

There was something off about the aroma, a covering of wax or plastic over a light apple smell. It was difficult to separate those artificial scents from the flavor, a watery apple juice. Not very satisfying.

mabel (4129) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 30, 2006
[061-20061014] 500mL. Light plastic aroma with strong wafts of Pork and old cask. Deep yellow body with a quick foamy white head and a few lazy bubbles. Light wooden apple flavour, reminds me of gunpowder or maybe two notches shy of light car oil. Medium body with a subtle long aftertaste. Borderline pungent on the tongue then mellows nicely.

Tmoney99 (6894) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - OCT 14, 2006
Bottle. Poured golden color with a minimal white head that diminished quickly with no lacing. Moderate tart apple aroma. Light body. Light sweet cider flavor with a light sweet finish of short duration.

heemer77 (4754) - Urbandale, Iowa, USA - SEP 6, 2006
I got a one liter bottle of this in Kansas City. The body was dark gold with no head or visible carbonation. The aroma was sweet apple cobbler with some perfume and flowers. The taste was dry apricots with some vineous character. There was also some apple core. This was decent for a middle of the road cider for sweetness.

piscator34 (1582) - Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - AUG 5, 2006
Dark gold on colour. Very mild browning apple aroma. A bit of juice box apple flavor. A bit sour, with a fairly dry (thin) boozy finish. Vaguely drinkable, but there is so much lacking in the flavor and aroma department.
