I was really impressed with this cider. It had a firmer, fuller fruit taste than some others I’ve had, and somehow managed to mask the extra ABV. Also great mixed with Old Rasputin.

(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.
