One of the most popular ciders in pubs and tastes smooth, not too sweet. Makes your burps smell funny tho

hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - OCT 4, 2005
UPDATED: AUG 20, 2007 Rating #2200... Bottle... Clear, very light yellow cider with a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. Mild aroma aroma of a sliced apple that has been neglected for about half an hour. A whisper of cinnamon. Light, refreshing flavor of watered down apple juice. Not overly sweet. Light to medium-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and stale carbonation. Subtle, fruity finish... lightly sweet and medium dry.

Pours light yellow. Mild aroma is sour, tart, and apple. Light bodied with light carbonation. Taste is sweet and rather acidic. The ’natural apple flavors’ don’t seem to agree with my palate. I wouldn’t drink this again, even if it was free.

ElGaucho (1816) - Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA - SEP 30, 2005
As far as ciders go, this one’s pretty average. Nice apple aroma, but thinner than New Glarus Apple Ale, which granted is a beer and not a cider. Clear body with some visible carbonation. Starts out with a small, white head, but it totally diminishes and there is no lace at all. A little thin and sour. Not full bodied enough.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - SEP 27, 2005
(Bottle 27,5 cl) Reddish orangey golden - kinda weird colour - with a white head that collapses quite fast. Distinct aroma of sour apples, but in the flavour not much apple is left. Dry, not much sweetness is found here and not much acidity either. It has an authentic cider feel to it, just hasn’t much flavour. 230905

CapFlu (3767) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 16, 2005
(Draught) Sampled on tap at the Great Lost Bear in Portland, ME. Very clear, mildly carbonated. Sweet yet has a very "sanitized" shopping mall nose. Though crisp, this had a thin flavour at the finish.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 4, 2005
Very light yellow colored bubbly liquid. Small ring of white bubbles. Sour milk and honey wax aromas. Very light sweetness in this liquid with more a sparkling mead quality than a cider. While I can’t stand the smell, the flavors are not that bad and are rather refreshing.

Your typical crappy mass produced cider. Very sweet. Drinkable but nothing spectacular. Tastes like apples. Thank god you don’t have to look at this one. Just drink it from a bottle.
