The expected apple juice is in the aroma but there’s a sweetness that’s very artificial and off-putting as well in there. The appearance is very pale straw-gold, nearly translucent. The flavor is of green apples while the sweetness in the aroma is thankfully more in the background in the taste. Not bad in flavor but the aroma was not good at all, probably won’t have this again.

Edmoe (226) - Orlando, Florida, USA - MAR 11, 2011
Pale, barely yellow. Light aroma of apples and chardonnay. Flavor is light even for a cider...like drinking Sprite with apple juice. It’s okay...nothing offensive...a tad boring.

Bierkrug (1643) - Idar-Oberstein (In Senegal), Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - FEB 20, 2011
300 ml bottle in Kenya. Pours a clear yellow color. Aroma is Apples and white wine. Taste is sweet and unbalanced cider. Palate is more dry than the taste. An ok Cider.

SanfordBrewer (1206) - Sanford, Florida, USA - JAN 9, 2011
Lucent straw, medium-light body, high carbonation.

aroma is apple candy with a hint of apple cider vinegar. Taste is champagne and musty apples. No fresh apples. Commercial description makes it sound like strongbow with sugar added. It seems like it must be added before fermentation, as the finished cider is lighter in color and drier, although the aroma is sweeter.

maeib (6398) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - NOV 2, 2010
Bottled. A greeny gold fizzy cider. It’s sweet fizzy and apply with chemical flavours. A friendly drinkable unrewarding sweet apple drink.

fidelis83 (1262) - Clinton, Iowa, USA - AUG 13, 2010
Pours a sort of old silver, off clear with a 1 finger, creamy, white head. Aroma is plain, sweet green apple, lactose and a touch of fusel. Flavor is sweet green apple, lactose, a little mineral touch and corn. Palate is light bodied, dry throughout and moderately carbonated. Not a very good cider.

RobertDale (830) - Lansing, Kansas, USA - JUL 30, 2010
12 oz. bottle. Pours pale yellow with no head. Aroma very similar to apple juice. Tastes like apple juice, but sweeter. Too sweet.
