Even when aggressively poured the head disappears darned fast and leaves this orangey-yellow body sitting in the glass. Soft apple and alcohol aroma. Flavour is grass and apples, modestly dry finish. Not bad, much more manageable than their "medium" brew.

Bottle. Pours a very pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a fruity dry apple aroma. Dry fruity weak apple flavor with some weak tartness. Fruity dry apple finish.

Had this cidersome time ago, transferring data from database before Januar 2012 I was using to rate beer. As I drink this again I will add a complete review.

Very pale yellow green colour with no head and fizzy. Alcohol, grapes and sour green apples.Oily medium body. Medium Sweet with a very strong dryness. Apple, wood and citric. Champagne smell feel and almost taste.

Bought due to cheapness and relatively high alcohol content. Pee in the aroma, but not off-putting. Pee coloured too, medium carbonation, Tastes like you’d expect a mix of strong commercial cider, apple juice and sugar to. I detected a hint of nutmeg, but really, I just feel dirty and ashamed of myself.

750ml bottle. Poured a pale, clear & fizzy yellow with a marginal bubbly head. Pretty sweet apple aromas, just light tartness. The same can be said for the flavour too, mostly sweet but some drying tartness towards the finish. Straightforward & likely refreshing in the right setting. Thin & fully carbonated on the palate, only lightly dry with a short length to it leaving stale apple notes in the aftertaste.

Can 440ml.
Clear light to medium orange color with a small, fizzy, virtually none lacing, fully diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is sour apples, apple. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration, and a dry finish. Body is light to medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [20090501]

Can 44 cl. Courtesy of Pinball. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with an off-white head. Dry and lightly astringent nose. Medium body, dry, lightly perfumy and sulphurous. Dry finish with a discreet tartness. An odd cider but not horrible as such. 010509
