2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 Rastacouere (5923) - Montréal, - MAY 30, 2007
System BolagetA lightweight, juicy, slightly floral, mostly bland cider with strong residual sweetness. Again, as with other Swedish examples, this takes the industrial sweet soda pop route, looking like coloured water and having pretty much the same consistency. Not even that different from the William 7% one from Kiviks also.

2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 ciderguy (98) - Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 24, 2004
Nose was somewhat weak. Sort of a conditioned smell. Not natural. Apple sweetness nonetheless. Impressive pour, thick full head rivaling that of most beers. Slowly dissipating into a standard light fizziness. Taste is sweet like green apple hard candy. Slightly smoother finish than the first taste, but still a bit biting. Not the best, not the worst. Worth a try should you happen across it. A toast to ante for sending this my way to review for you.
