thirdeye11 (3911) - Dallas, Texas, USA - MAR 8, 2010
(12oz bottle thanks to mar) Pours clear yellow with light bubbles. Nose of tart apple and vinegar. Taste of apple cider vinegar, sugar with a lightly tart watery finish. Really average, but nothing offensive here.

Snojerk321 (2954) - San Diego, California, USA - FEB 12, 2010
Bottle from BevMo. Pours yellow with little activity as far as carbonation...sweet aroma of wine and orchard...tastes much the same...like a cheap chardonnay...finishes very dry...

Swalden28 (2541) - McKinney, Texas, USA - FEB 1, 2010
Bottle. Pours a crystal clear gold with fast fading fizzy white head. Aroma of apple and cola. Flavor seems pretty simple, just apple and a little watery. Mouth feel seems a bit on the watery side with high carbonation. Overall, just a simple easy drinking cider.

Vaiz (1847) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - JAN 11, 2010
I am no cider drinker, but in Spain I was offered some. Pours clear gold with no head. Aroma of white wine. Flavor is a mix between champaign, wine and apple juice. Lots of carbonation. Sweet and sour finish.

j12601 (4171) - Poughkeepsie, New York, USA - DEC 30, 2009
Bottle. Pours a clear straw yellow with wisps of a white head on the edges of the glass. Smells a bit like cooking wine and champagne yeast, with some sweet apple notes in the background. A bit thin, sweet and empty. Just a bit of apple. Sweet finish, more apple notes. Seems like something I would have drank a ton of in college before I knew that ciders could be good.

500 ml can from da lcbo. pours yellow with no head and minimal carbonation. aroma of basically nothing, some slight apple as it warms. the flavour is light and dry, some apple, nothing offensive, slighly tart finish. the palate is clean and the finish is dry. not a bad cider.

Ive only tried a few ciders and they were better than this which did not seem fresh but I still enjoyed it. Seems under rated.
