3.4 330ml bottle. Pours pure golden color. Medium strong apple aroma. Medium body, light collaboration Taste is sweet & sour a bit, medium dry. I added a slice of lime and it became even better. Overall - a good choice for a hot sunny day.

2.5 Bottle from the Booking Office. Appearance - pale yellow with a thin head. Nose - overripe but at the same time dry. Taste - juicy up front, then dry apple skins. Palate - as per nose. Not balanced. Overall - tastes like it's a blend of sweet and dry somehow.

2.2 Bottle, for the want of anything else to rate, at the Booking Office, shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours clear pale gold with a short-lived thin white head. Aromas of granny smiths apples, quite sharp. Taste is saccharine sweet, dry apples. Bit of a clash. Must be back-sweetened. Chalky finish.

1.0 Droge cider met een droge en zoete smaak van appel. Het bier heeft door de gebruikte appels een zuurtje in zich. -backlog de BierApp-

3.3 Bottle at De Staat. Clear golden with no head. Sweet fresh apples, light cheesy and woody. Moderate sweet and bitter. Medium body and soft carbonation. Medium dry.

3.4 Clear bottle served with a pint glass full of ice at The Doghouse Hamilton Bermuda. Clear golden yellow with a steady stream of carb bubbles. Light apple and faint brown sugary aroma and flavor with a hint of sulfur. Somewhat dry but a perception of residual sweetness. Decent hard cider.

2.7 Clear, yellow to pale golden colored, small- frothy head, only ring remains, some lacing. Aroma is of some apple juice, bit apple peel, some light tart notes, some sugar present. Taste is medium sweet sugary apple juice, bit of apple peel, light tartness, dryish finish but still some sweetness remaining. Medium bodied, soft to flat carbonation.

3.1 33cp bottle at home. Pours a clear pale golden colour with a medium white head which vinishes immediately. Aroma of apples, apple juice, slight wine. Taste is medium to moderate sweet, moderate bitter with a moderate dry finish. Notes of apples, apple juice. Texture is oily to watery, light bodied with medium carbonation

3.2 Shared 330 ml clear bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. Pale golden colour, sparkling. Simple but nice apple aroma and flavour, medium dry but still some residual sweetness. Fair enough.

3.6 Shared bottle at RBHD tasting. Pours clear straw colored with a weak tiny head. Aroma of sweet apples. Crisp light sweet juicy apples, dry clean finish.

2.8 Fra flaske på RBHD-samling på Bjørnøy, juni-18: klar lys korngul med ok skum. Mild eplearoma og -smak med lett syrlig avslutning. Lisensprodusert i Belgia, og abv er 5.0, iflg etiketten.

4.6 One of the best fizzy dry ciders. Comparable to a Bounders from Bath Ales. Best drunk cold from the bottle.

3.1 Bottle - Green dessert apples. Clear gold with a small white head. Light sweet, fleshy apple with just a touch of peel. Considering what it is, it's not too sweet or artificial tasting and quite decent.

2.3 Bottle. Clear yellow color with white head. Aroma is custard, artificial apples, parmesan. Taste is vanilla, sweet apples, kinda dry in the back, ok - but very artificial in flavour... Foamy carbonation. Not for me.

2.8 33cl bottle at home, bought at Slijterij Groningen Vismarkt. Appearance: clear pale straw with medium white head that vanishes immediately. Aroma: apple, white wine. Taste: high sweetness, medium bitterness and mild acidity. Notes of apple, white wine and a hint of cocos. Palate: light bodied, watery texture and medium carbonation.

2.4 Bottle from a convenience store in Phuket. Light yellow pour with some faint foam on tip. Nose has light apple, measured acidity. Taste has light sweetness, dry acidity, apple is quite strong. Some fruits and candy sugar sweetness carry it for a while until it succumbs to nothingness. Average, run-of-the-mill cider I guess.

2.4 Bottle. Straw-golden color. Aroma: refined, light apple, sweetish. Taste is slightly sour, apple, some sweetness, drinkable.

2.2 Bottle. Cleaer golden body with a white head that disappears quite fast. Aroma is light apple with relatively much sulfide. Flavor is light apple that feels a bit like thin apple juice with less sulfide than expected from aroma. Body is thin and watery, aftertaste has more sulfide and feels sweeter. Not very impressive and frankly rather boring. Feels a bit watered down version of an average apple cider.

2.6 500ml bottle from Pop Inn, Reading. Light gold colour with tiny white head. Pretty strong sulphite smell - less in the taste thankfully, sugary sweet green apples, green apple candy, white sugar, very light tartness.

2.5 F: thin, some bubbles. C: pale gold, clear. A: sweet apples, apples peels, white sugar. T: dry apples juice, bit red apples, not very sweet, refreshing but average all together, medium body and lower carbonation, 0,33l bottle from local Indian supermarket in Baie Lazare, Seychelles.

3.5 Bought at LCBO, I was looking for bottled beer. Tumbled on this little cider from South Africa. There is definitely a nice smoothness about it, worth trying.

3.1 23-11-17 // bottle from a south africa shop in Mainz. Clear golden. Granny Smith apple nose. Medium sweet, green apples, apple sweetness, light applewine taste. Easy drinking.

2.7 Backlog, ocena wystawiona na podstawie wspomnień. Całkiem pijalny cydr. Nie jest zły.

2.6 330 ml. bottle in Mae Kasa, Thailand. Pours a clear pale gold with little head. Aroma of sweet apple. Taste of sweet apple pie, crispy. Tart, dry but weak flavour. Another basic bottled cider.

2.8 Bottle. Clear, very pale yellow pour. Aroma is pretty plain apple juice with hints of bread dough. Taste is very light and simple, a bit sweet. Better than some crazy-sweet flavoured ciders, but not much great going on here.

2.3 330ml bottle. Pours clear pale yellow, white bubbly head, stays long for cider, fizzy. Aroma is sour, apples. Taste is soursweet, but really weak. Watery. Dry watery finish, yogurt in aftertaste. Light body, lively carbo. Weak.
