(canned) this is ghetto cider ,tramps and bumbs call this their posion , but I was in the mood for something like this. Its not that bad , regardless of rep; sweet apples and syrup . Paper bag time. re8 .must add this 2 the UK rating.

Eh, I gotta tell ya, all these mass-produced ciders are starting to taste exactly the same. However, this one has a minimal sweetness and low carbonation. It’s fine for being handed to me by my boyfriend, but I probably wouldn’t buy it. Thanks, boyfriend, for handing it to me!

Hazy deep golden pour. Very light carbonation. The nose is is lightly appley with a weird plasticy maltiness. Some fairly oxidized character in addition to the light apple. Light astringency but it’s the weird honey/malt sweetness that is the most off-putting. It gets less sweet as it warms up. A touch of acidity. A very odd duck – meh.

Bottle. Light straw color. Aroma of apples. Flavor is sweet and guess what, tastes like apples!! Pretty ok I suppose.

Pretty good cider. Light body. Apples in the aroma and taste. Refreshing finish.

For a cider not bad. Very sweet and apple aroma. Taste is very sweet malts and apple. Its a cider what can you really say?

Clear very pale straw pour with no head but a champagne effervescence. Sweet apple aroma. Sweet cider flavor. Very bubbly. Enjoyable and not all that expensive.

Golden. The nose is sour and appley. The flavor is a bit too sweet for my taste, and the finish is too still. I like a drier, more carbonated cider.

This has long been my absolute favorite cider, and one I recommend every time. Unfortunately, it’s pretty hard to find in this area. K Cider is a beautiful, gleaming gold, effervescent and bright colour. The smell is dry, slightly sour and vinegary, with crisp, overripe apples and a bit of apricot, as well as a sharp citrussy lemon aroma. As the quote on the bottle states, "K" is "refreshingly different." The sourish dry notes tickle the tongue and leave a crisp, puckering green apple finish. Qualities similar to a brut champagne give this cider a fun, bubbly mouthfeel, all the while hinting at notes of bitter citrus fruit, pears, and even sour grapes. K really is the "ultimate in quality", and at 6.9% abv, is not just tasty, but packs a little strength as well. Deliciously tart and always fun.

Very nice. Golden yellow pour. No head. Served in a champagne flute. This brings out the bubbles coming up from the bottom. Nice aroma and taste of apples. It could stand to be a little drier and less sweet.
