"Time devoted to marketing". This stuff pours luminous orange and tastes like rotten crab apples that have been pissed on by alcoholics. I think they add ice is to hide the appalling smell, a bit like corona and the lime.

Clear golden with carbonation going like crazy. Apple and light tart aroma. Sweet apple flavor. Boring and tasteless overall. Wouldn’t go back to this one unless in dire need of a cider.

I’m sort of inexperienced rating ciders, but here it goes......Pours a golden yellow with a very tiny head. Looks like a standard cheap lager. Aroma of sour apples same with the flavour. Someone said it tastes like a cheap bottle of white wine, I agree fully. Although less sugary. Not bad though.

Pours a crystal clear golden colour with some nice looking bubbles coming up through it. Head was thick and white, but very foamy and went away very fast. Nose is moslty apples, more like apple juice than apple cider. Not very sweet, nor very strongly flavoured either. Kind of like fizzy apple juice. You might not know it was cider right off the bat. Carbonation is a bit low for a cider too.

Odd 19-1/5 ounce bottle. Tastes like cheap white wine with a little catsup mixed in. Not good at all in any way.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear greenish yellow with a white head and a sweet apple-juice-like aroma. Taste is foretable, very fizzy with a lot of sweet apples and a dry finnsh, Nice when you’re itting in the pub with lots of friends, but don’t dink it on your own.
