Pours clear pale yellow with a fast diminishing white head. Aroma has notes of apples and sugar. Taste is light sweet with a dry finish. Body is light, texture is thin, carbonation is fizzy

0.5l can. Pours a rusty water-like body with no head. Sweet and old alcohol is mainly the aroma beside the strong and dominating apple-extract. Thin and sticky mouthfeeling and lively carbonated. It actually tastes a bit worse than it smells. Old and bad yeasty alcohol, sugar and apple-extract. This is really not worth spending any more sips on. Down the drain and on to the next!

Yellow-green coloured and clear. Sparkling. Has a white head, fully diminishing. Aroma is heavy sweet, fruity-sweet. Flavor is harsh sweet, light acidic. Syrupy texture, lively carbonation. A bit astringent.

[ Trade by yngwie ]. Clear light to medium yellow color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, fully diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate apple - pear, apple - pear sugar juice, green artificial apples. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light acidic with a average to long duration, artificial apple and pear. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is lively. IMO as a soda okay but a cider no no way ! [20110123]

Can. Artificial apple and sweetener aroma. Pale yellow colour. No head. Very sweet artificial apple flavour. This is a soft drink, not a cider.

Pours a near-water-color body. Not very inviting. Smell is molasses and apple extracts. Taste is matching; sugary, artificial apple flavor with a sticky, additive-laden candy aftertaste that sticks in your mouth for far too long. Fizzy, short lived palate. Grevens Cider Eple is really at the bottom of the cider rung.
