Serve in Flute, Lager glass

0.27 l bottle from Interspar, Udine. It poured lighter golden body with smaller head that lived only for a second. Weaker apple aroma, quite dry. Flavor was vinous, sourish and watery. Finish was dry. Utterly simple and deadly boring, plus not my cider style, though it wasn’t too offensive.

Tap. Pours clear bright yellow with tiny white head. Aroma is yeast and overripe appels. Taste is sweet and palate is dry, crisp and refreshing with a fizzy carbonation. Not too sweet like many Scandinavian ciders, but unfortunately not as dry as the French ciders. Very pleasant on a hot summer day.

Can / 440ml ... Tastes like apples soaked in water with rusty old nails. Looks like fizzy hangover piss.

enjoying this cider out of 500ml can - Clearly enjoyable cider that is fresh and non-offensive. If you know exactly what you are in for, this is a great summertime brew and a nice alternative to beer on occasion.

Pours a clear yellow with no head. Smells of sour green apples. Not too sweet like a lot of ciders but it’s a cider for sure. Sweet but not to the point it makes you drool. Thin with almost no finish. Good brew for a summer day or afternoon.

Bottle. Clear yellow colour. Watery and a bit yeasty. Very little apple aroma or flavor. The bottle says "Serve extra cold". I can understand why.

Consumed at Mellow Mushroom - Savannah, GA. Arrived at the table a clear gold with a very thin white head. Mild aroma of apples. The flavor is straightforward apples. Mild effervescence compliments the apple flavor. Nice refresher on a hot summer’s day.

On tap @ Cyprus. This is a clear cider with no head. Aroma is apply with some sweet sugar and some pears perhaps?. Really yeasty and nasty. Not way to sweet, just plain yeasty. You can sense some apple-like flavors, but it just does not taste any good at all.
