BlackHaddock (2440) - Shropshire, - AUG 28, 2012
Oh dear: one of the sweetest and nastiest drinks I’ve had that calls it’s self a beer! 500ml bottle: best before 31 Mar 2013, poured down my sink on 24 Aug 2012. Golden to amber body; with a wisp and weak collar of a white nature. The smell and taste were just an over sugared apple juice with extra sweetners added when you weren’t looking. Managed about four sips before I sinked it.

kerenmk (1241) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - MAY 3, 2013
Bottle shared at a tasting at Beer and Beyond. Pours clear golden with white head. Perfume, apple vinegar and mostly (something unreadable) aroma. Tastes very sweet, sugary and artificial, like apple concentrate. Light body, highly carbonated, sweetener finish. Weird.

mile (2159) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 23, 2013
Bottle. Golden, small and fully diminishing head. Moderate, sweet and fruity, artificial apple aroma. Body is medium, sugary sweet, some fruitiness, artificial apple flavor. Finish is short to average, sugary sweet with some fruitiness, artificial apple flavor, light alcohol. That’s it.

DSG (3994) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - APR 14, 2013
Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks kerenmk. Clear golden. Weak apple aroma with a bit of DMS notes. Sweet flavor with artificial apple and saccharine. Light-bodied. Sickly sweet and unpleasant.

bhensonb (9093) - Woodland, California, USA - APR 12, 2013
Bottle from Gluggles in York. Pours a light golden amber with a white smear for head. Aroma of something suggesting appleskin. Med body. Flavor is sweet. Too sweet. There is some astringency, but it’s almost pointless given the sugar level. I am shocked this aberration is bottled under the Wychwood Label. Brewers of Character? Shame, shame on Marstons.

Appearance: Clear golden color with an small bubbly white head.
Aroma: Apples and a bit sugary.
Palate: Medium body. Sweet and a low bitterness. Average carbonation.
Taste: Apple fruity. A bit artificial.
Overall impression: Very close to a cider. Should be served a bit colder on a hot sunny day.
Personal stats: Bottle from an off licence in Burton-on-Trent, England
