Bottle from LCBO. Starts off OK, but before I was 1/4 way in it became almost nauseatingly sweet. There’s better ciders.

Average tasting medium sweet cider, ok as an every day cider, but lacks the character that other ciders have

DandyLion (224) - Leicester, Leicestershire, ENGLAND - DEC 27, 2012
Tart cider, but not in a good way. Tart in the way that artificial sweetners are. I like tart drinks but notones that turn your stomach and taste sweet before the horrible taste gets you at the end. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

sajuuk (28) - AUSTRALIA - OCT 31, 2012
I drank this from a bottle and is a slightly cloudy, pale yellow liquid with a minute bubbly head. The aroma is a lot like a lemon meringue, a short of creamy lemon. The taste is sour and astringent. This is a light bodied drink with a creamy but dry texture and a tiny but of carbonation. Overall this is a nice cider that is nicer than most thanks to its creaminess and tart texture but has an acidic aftertaste so it was not very satisfying.
