Draught @ De Poort, Utrech, Holland
Clear sparkling, light yellow color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, fully diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate green apples, sweet apple. Flavor is moderate sweet and light acidic with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft - lively. [20081215]

What a lovely applejuice with a sharp sour aroma. Taste lingers like a cheap applejuice. Wow, 5 percent?

Medium airy and full lively almost white head, which disappears within seconds, leaves a headless clear watery colored cider with a light yellow tint. Smell apple, fake sweets, dust. Taste is due to a low body easy drinkable: some apples, dust, light sweet, artificial sweetness and just a hint of something bitter. Lacks a body! Aftertaste is a light dusty fruit apple ish one. Low to medium carbo, light tingly mouthfeel, low body and a watery texture.

This is made from apples and you can tell that by looking at it, sniffing it and tasting it. No head, crisp clear, almost green colour. They want to go for women with this drink. I don’t like it.

Was marketed in the Neterlands as a more feminine Cider... (Whereas the awful ’Strongbow’ would be for men). This one is indeed a bot softer and sweeter than ’Strongbow’, which makes it a better summer-drink but is eventually not a very good one. Beats down her masculine competitor but still not satisfying.

It’s hard to judge this brew fairly. It is made for non-beer drinkers and maybe should be considered as such. Still, as a beer drinker I find a clear, crispy soda-like looking cider with no head at all. Body is fizzy and light. Crisp apple aromas together with bubble gum-like sweetness - atificially sweetened bubble gum that is. And that’s it. Taste is right what you expect, a sweet low grade cider although arguably there is a citrussy zest to this that saves this from being horrible. Now it’s just overly sweet, low quality and refreshing. Ish. (26cl bottle as ordered by a friend who doesn’t like beer...)

23cl bottle left behind after a party. Very pale colour. Very sweet. not that great

Bottle 23 cl. Pours a white wine like clear green/yellow with a small fading white head and an aroma of sweet apples and artificial sugar. The taste is like a sweeter version of a cheap English supermarket-cider. Not bad a beer and not a real cider either

Bootled. Aroma has green apples and is sweetish, some grains. Clear, yellow coloured with not much, white head. The taste is quite sweet, and fruity (apples). Not too good.

At the albert heijn xl in zaandam, light golden, no head, very fizzy and sweet. No beer hinds in it.
