Tjah, rating #300 but #1 for cider. 0.5 L can, ’bbe’ Oct 07. Dark golden with a scarce carbonation. The aroma begins with a punch of odour reminiscent of small, sour apples with a ’shrivelled’ structure; pleasant, but fades away rather quickly. Bland, sweet-sour taste with a strong medicinal bitterish background and aftertaste (saccharin). A not really appetising palate with a hint of soap. What’s the point of brewing ’dry cider’ and then throwing sugar and artificial sweetener into it? Well, I guess, making a drink sweet enough to suit the common, undemanding taste yet strong enough to render you pissed quickly and efficiently.

Strange aroma, a bit disgusting. Nice flavor, but maybe too much alcool in taste and a strong chemical flavor. Not so bad, but i expected better.

Surprisingly golden in colour compared to the other "Super" ciders - could be artificial colouring though. Aromas are artificial sweetner with hints of apple. Dry and a bit musty. Flavours are sweet with chemicals and even some apple! Everything is thin apart from the liver damage. Dry on the finish but in an unpeasant way. Better than Diamond White!
