It is a warm golden cider with a white head. The aroma has a light sweetness and acidity, it’s mild with notes of apple. The flavour has a light sweetness and it’s rather dry. It has notes of slightly sour apple, it’s mild and very uncomplicated.

2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
2009-07-19. Crisp yellow body with white foam. Muted, mildly musty apples in the aroma. Flavour is mild, sweet apples, generic sweetness. Average to light bodied palate. Okay for a mainstream cider but its a bit dull. Bottle from LCBO
1.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bland example, little in the way of apples on the nose, sweet palate with a hint of fruit, finish is minimal. Actually bought for cooking....it was cheap!
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
568ml?
Poured out a big fizzy white head that actually stuck around quite awhile just above a skim level, bright orange gold. The aroma sometimes seems dead on but often seemed too far down the road of apple juice - closer to a freshly opened tube of frozen apple juice to go along with some chemicals. Needs to be more dry in the taste. Oversweet apple juice. A bit too thick and syrupy but not over the top bad... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
No: 736
Rated: 23.06.2009
Bottle brown, 568 ml
Appearance: Pours beautiful, deep, dark, essential, shiny golden body, carbonation of the body is lively, head is initially huge, quickly decreasing to small, no lacing, head is regularly white in colour and foamy, regular in structure.
Aroma: I have to be sure that it is my first Cider so I may not be objective. Some dust, notes of red apple peal, some apple juice, rather sweet oriented aroma but marked with gentle alcoholic background and sulphur like notes, some sourness, very easily recognisable notes of fermentation yeast, red apples, notes of malt hidden under the apple aroma. My scor will stay reserved as I have no experience in Cider rating.
Flavour: Front is soft, refreshing, highly saturated, mellow, quite creamy in texture, not much of carbonation present on palate, very gentle true apple aftertaste, after all those artificially tasting Fruit beers I have had this one constitutes not only a nice beer as such but also a style worth tasting and potentially inviting and interesting. Very easy going and pleasant. Finish duration is short to medium.
Palate: Body is light, texture is very soft, watery to creamy, carbonation on palate is medium, finish feel is fruity sweet, positive.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle from the LCBO. Colour has a pinkish-gold hue with a surprisingly large white head, and a lot of carbonation. The aroma is a bit musty, with notes of slightly oxidized apples, and a mild cheesiness which is not unpleasant. The body is fairly crisp, and the flavour is pleasant to start, with a fresh apple character, and even the finish seems dry at first. But the overly sweet aftertaste belies the glucose syrup and sugar mentioned in the ingredients list on the label.
