Ungstrup (23960) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUN 6, 2004
This cider is white as water with a extremely fast disappearing head. The aroma is sweet like rotten meat. The flavor is slitghtly more complex - it is a combination of apples and rotten meat. Absolutely awful. I hope nobody else will be so stupid as I were and sampled this one. Yuk.

Papsoe (22985) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - FEB 24, 2008
(Can 50 cl) Pours a very pale golden with absolutely no head. Aroma is primarily alcohol. Medium body, sugary and alcoholic with lots of carbonation and only a faint memory of apples. A terribly industrial cider. Rumour has it that it left yalnikim terribly hungover the next morning. He insisted on finishing the can though.... 190208

Clear golden with no head. Sweet aroma with phenol and apple notes. Sweet flavor with glue and artificial apple notes. Ends sweet.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - NOV 14, 2005
Bottle at London Gathering Nov 05. It was great to be able to try this without actually having to buy it. Very, very pale with a touch of green. Amazingly some peanut butter on the nose. Touch of sweet apple. Sweetish in mouth but not entirely as awful as I was expecting.

saxo (8431) - Højbjerg, Aarhus, DENMARK - APR 14, 2012
Can. No head. Color is water. Aroma and taste are artificial apples, sugar, water and alcohol. Alcopop!

imdownthepub (7491) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - APR 23, 2004
Bottled, pale straw. Brown paper bag time, this is a tramps delight, cheap high alcohol and portable. Who cares that it tastes awful, it delivers as quick asn an injection.

Its white and its shite and I’ve just realised that this is my 100th cider rating. What a way to bring up the milestone. Sweet, obviously alcoholic and very artificial. Drinkable at a pinch if chilled to near freezing. 330ml bottle, special offer at 39p from Sainsburys.

leaparsons (6324) - Leicester, Leicestershire, ENGLAND - DEC 5, 2004
I remember girls in nightclubs going crazy for this in the distant past. Very, very pale. Ill looking. Aromas are sick and chemicals. Flavours are dry and chemical infested with hints of apple and a really nasty long aftertaste. Smells and tastes like a proper cider that has become terminally ill. What was once trendy is now bought by children for getting pissed in derelict playgrounds.
