Has a golden color and a sweet apple smell. Taste is really sweet and finishes thin and sticky. Overall this was the worst cider I have ever had.

UPDATED: MAY 7, 2004 (Draught) On tap at DArcy McGees in Ottawa. Truly a poor cider. Sickening actually. It has a thin, champagne texture and an dry apple smell. The taste was a mix of TartNTinys and sour medicine. This Irish producer needs a new recipe.

UPDATED: NOV 25, 2004 wee bit o the apple juice, aye. Twas fine it was, nothing special. Had this with some englishman and we started ranting about various things until 3 am.

Bright golden, huge bubles, no foam. Weak moderately sweet/acidic nose with hints of metal. Really didn't get a lot out of the flavor, very light and sweet and innocuous, but again with a slight nasty metal hint. Somewhat refreshing, better than the Woodchucks, but not much better at a much higher price.

golen and bubbly. sweet sugary apple nose. more sweet apple flavour with a hint of core and leaves. not bad but not great.

On tap at the St. George Arms, St. George, Ontario. Sweet and ill, not much aroma. Golden but hey its cider. I found it difficult to finish the glass. Now I have a headach.

This is the best cider out there. A little bit of a smokey taste and dry finish. If I am drinking a cider it will be this one.

A pretty good Irish cider. Not that I’ve tried near as many Irish varieties as I have US and English. Its got a bit of a dry aftertaste, but not totally offensive. Not quite sweet enough for me to drink on a regular basis or to justify spending the extra couple of bucks for a six pack.

Musty, dry and non-acidic for a cider. Medium gold. Good label and bottle. Thin.

Nothing like a lot of the (weak) European ciders. A strong rich appel cider, slightly bitter, and hard on the stomach!
