4.1 Goldene, klare Farbe, wenig Schaum, fruchtig/säuerlich im Geruch. Schöne Apfel-Note im Geschmack, gute Bitterness, leicht süss. Eiskalt getrunken, die pure Erfrischung.

2.6 550ml bottle. Pours a clear straw colour with a thin, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Faint, sweet aroma of apple. Sweet flavour of apple and sugar with a dry, slightly tart, acidic finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Refreshing, but lacks any complexity.

3.4 Sampled from 0.55 l bottle from ’EDEKA Preller’ (Breckerfeld), best before April 2018. Clear, golden yellow with a thin, fluffy, quickly diminishing, white layer. Sourish-fruity, woody aroma of ripe apples and some wood. Slightly sweetish, moderately sour, quite fruity and slightly woody taste of ripe apples, some pear and light wood, followed by a short, rather dry, slightly tart finish. Thin body, slightly astringent and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty!

3.2 Bottle at the horse and groom. A crystal clear golden yellow coloured pour with a lasting white head. Aroma is tangy apple, bile, rubber, little wood. Flavour is composed of semi sweet and tangy apple, honey dew, crisp apple hints of acid. Palate is semi sweet tangy, moderate frorhy carbonation. Ok cider.

2.3 Aus der Flasche getrunken (Händlerlieferung). Im Sommer sehr erfrischend, aber nichts für Biertrinker.

3.3 A bright golden color. Aroma contains some red apple peels and honey. The flavor is slightly sweet and dry with some red apples and sugar. Overall some nice flavors going on but a little thin on the palate and maybe a bit on the sweet side.

3.2 Bottle in The Glasshouse Stores. Memorable place for me as I once dumped a girlfriend in here that I had a mega crush on. She was just too nuts. Pale Amber, no head. Nose is sweet white apple and oxidised brown apple, white apple vinegar, not much dryness. Taste is light, sweet, white apple, no tannins. Simple, light, little watery but refreshing.

2.8 Bottle. It poured a clear pale yellow with virtually no head. The aroma was Green apple and the flavor was the same. It had a watery mouth feel. Overall, OK.

3.4 A hazed golden cider with aroma of sweet apple jam, light mineral notes, light acidity, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity apple juice with light mineral notes, light acidity, refreshing and smooth. Bottle from LCBO.

3.4 Pours clear pale straw. Aroma of apples and champagne. Sweet apple juice, very slight tartness. Hint of musk. Light crisp carbonated mouthfeel.

3.5 Bottle from bierlinie. Pours clear golden. Nose is natural Apple. Taste is dry, apple, sweet. Finish is is short, fruity. Best cider i have tried yet, but this isn’t saying much.

3.2 Bottle pour into shaker pint glass. Aroma is apple, champagne. Appearance is clear, pale yellow with nice sparkle, minimal white fizzy head. Taste is balance of light sweet and tart. Palate is light bodied with thin texture, initial burst of fizzy carbonation but then soft, and dry finish. Overall, a nice, light change of pace from beer.

3.2 Apple aroma, with a floral hint. Pours almost yellow with a moderate head that dissipates decently quick. Very smooth going down, would be easy to drink a few of these. Sits on the tongue lightly, mostly with that same floral aftertaste noted in the aroma. All in all an easy, above average cider.

2.8 bottle oro piuttosto limpido poco saporito frizzanti abbastanza dolce povero

2.5 Most disappointing for a Samuel Smith brew. Tastes watered down, not at all what I expected.

2.3 Pours a hazy straw color with a quickly vanishing head. Smells? Of apples no surprise. Tastes of apples with some tartness. Very watery and unexciting. Overall? There are many ciders way better than this.

3.0 *Old rating. Slightly sourish with a fruity and sweetish apple aroma. Nice and crisp, fresh but not too deep. Highly drinkable!

3.1 Bottle. A- White wine, dry, grapes. A- Pale yellow color, clear liquid, minimal fizzy head. T- Vanilla, honey, cotton candy, white wine, apples. P- Light body, average texture, high carbonation, sweet finish. O- I love Sam Smith and generally don’t care for ciders so had no idea where this was headed. The aroma was awful. Smelled like a cheap white wine. Surprisingly the taste was quite good. Light and full of flavors, not just apple. The taste saved this beer.

3.0 Sample at AK BW fest 2016. Clear golden yellow color, still. Aroma of apple skins. Taste has light apple flesh, mostly dry finish. OK.

3.2 Draught at GABBF. Pours clear and still pale gold. Aroma is earthy apples, vanilla and honey. Flavor is sweet apple and honey with a dry finish. Light body and carbonation.

2.8 I’ve had a couple of ciders recently which I liked, but this one seems very ordinary and unexciting. I would surmise that ’organic’ means quite something with apples as they are one of the most heavily sprayed crops, with loads of pesticides used on them commercially. However, this cider is very plain across the board, aroma, looks, flavor, mouthfeel, and has zero complexity.

2.9 From the bottle marked SE0501. Not sure what that means,. The pour is golden yellow with a fizzy white head and head and busy carbonation. The apple fruit is evident in the aroma but so is the corn and grain. Light, refreshing body but typical for a cider. Good apple quality to the taste with a clean finish. I don’t mind ciders because I find them to be refreshing. It is hard fir me tio rate them as beers though.

3.7 Clear, golden colored, small diminishing white head. Aroma is of apple juice, some tart apples, light+ horse blanket. Taste is moderate sweet apples, tart apples and peel, just the right amount of moderate tartness, some funky barnyard notes. Semi dry finish, crisp. Medium bodied, average carbonation. Really good cider. (on tap, Earl of Lonsdale, London)

2.8 500ml bottle. Clear dark golden color. Brief bubbly white head. Acidic, leather, very sour apples in aroma. Sweetish, clove, apples, spicy in taste. Crisp mouthfeel. Little vinegary and farmhouse touch in aftertaste. Drinkable if nothing else is available.

3.2 Pours pale yellow with small dense head. Alcohol, ripe apples, some tartness, quite nice cider.

1.9 It’s better than something like Strongbow or woodchuck or angry orchard, as much as that means. Straightforward apple, sweet.

3.4 550ml bottle from Beers of Europe, with Stuu666. Pours pale gold with a thin white head. Aromas of oak, apple, custard. Taste brings a rhubarb note to the custard, more apples. Light tart finish. Odd.

3.0 Bottle at james’s. Pours clear pale golden, nose is custard, apple, taste is sweet, juicy apple, custard cream, slight rhubarb.

2.7 How : bottle Appearance : clear very light golden, minimal white head. Aroma : apples, floral, citrus peel. Palate : light body, average carbonation.

3.5 Bottle at Congress, Longton. Pours mid apple brown. Fresh apple, nice carbonation, moreish.
