50 cL can. Pours clear and golden yellow with a fully gone head. Light phenol appel aroma. Flavour is medium sweet and dry phenol apple. Light citric note to a light apple flavoured finish. Nice one.

It’s golden with a small, white head. The aroma has notes of slightly sour, fresh apples and basement. The flavour has a light sweetness and sourness from fresh apples, and it’s refreshing, dry and pleasant to drink.

Clear golden with tiny short lasting head. Sweet and somewhat dry apple aroma with woody notes. Dry flavor with apple notes. Ends dry.

Can 50cl. @ home.
Clear light to medium yellow orange color with virtually none head. Aroma is apple, fresh sour apple, barnyard notes, dry. Flavor is moderate sweet and light acidic with a average to long duration, and a dry dry finish. Body is medium, texture is watery, carbonation is first lively and then flat. [20090118]

Can - yellow/gold. No head. Low to medium carbonation. Smooth. Sweet apple, slight sourness, touch of rotten apple and a strange, slightly burnt taste. Not too bad but maybe would have been better without sweetners,

2l bottle, now called "Crumpton Oaks Farmhouse Dry Cider" (but the same product). Pale yellow golden colour, no head. Light-bodied cider, fizzy but ok mouth feel. Aroma is rather faint, mostly of lemon, with a wee hint at apples. Fairly standard cider with taste of sour apples, light sweetness (not sickly sweet AT ALL - those below who wrote that should go see a doctor - they’re probably suffering from diabetes), citrus note. Nothing special, but an ok refreshment (well, it’s 2 liters à 5 % - that makes 10 UK alcoholic units per bottle).

Canned 0.5L 4.7%. Clear pale hey coloured. Fast disappearing head. Mild nose. Sour slightly appley taste. Waterly and not very special.

Can. A light golden cider with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of apples. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of apples, but the sweetness is somewhat artificial, the finish is dry and bitter. Thanks KimJohansen for sharing.

Golden colour, sparkling appearance. Musty aroma, but no funk. Semi sweet and slightly salty. Flavour is quite simple, apple, citrus with a clean dry finish.

UPDATED: APR 23, 2009 Can 50 cl, drank it directly from the can while travelling by train. Aroma of sour apples. The taste is really mild, just like drinking cheap supermarket-brand apple-juice, I like my cider to be a bit more thrilling. But this isn’t a bad one.
