This is my go-to cider for just relaxing drinking. A moderate body and just enough sweetness to sharpen the edge of the bite, no more than that. While there are plenty of better ciders out there, this is the best of the ones you’re likely to find commonly.

As dry as any cider I’ve tasted, but I appreciate that it’s not super sweet.

a dry cider with almost zero finish. very very little flavor to it, almost like water, but it’s decent

Pours yellow gold. Apple nose. Tastes of watery cider, mild apple flavour and mild tartness. Perhaps overly carbonated.

Can: Poured a super light yellow color cider with strong bubbly feel. Taste is dominated by light apple notes with light sweet notes and a pretty dry aftertaste. Pretty bland overall and almost taste like it was brewed with the less amount of real apple as possible.

Bottle. Pours a clear yellow with a white bubbly ring. Yeasty apple aroma, sweet and tart. Taste is light and sweet, of tart apples. Nice carbonation. Lingering watery tart apple. Not bad.

275 ml bottle, 5.3%. Pale bronze body, no head. Aroma of apple skin and ascorbic acid. Diluted taste of apples and ascorbic acid. I’m not surprised this is popular - with virtually no money spent on ingredients, they have plenty left to advertise this.

No real smell, golden, clear, minimal head, light sweetness, unexpected taste, not real sweet, barely an apple taste, light body, average carbonation,

Can. Clear gold with clean white head -some lacing. Aroma is apples taste is sweet and tart. Just seems harsh and without depth compared to better ciders

Strong taste of apples but with a definitive beer taste. Its not too sweet. Its not a heavy beer.
