laiti (11517) - Tampere, FINLAND - APR 6, 2023UPDATED: APR 6, 2023 Draught @ Soho
Aroma has overripe apples and apple peel. Feels musty. Flavour has ripe apples, some floury notes, sugary tones. Aroma was a bit offensive but flavour is good. Perhaps too sweet to drink in quantities though.

Sharikov (1) - - NOV 16, 2016 does not count This is a relatively simple dry cider that pairs well with food. It’s light bodied, highly effervescent and has pleasant natural flavor with a hint of bitterness/stringency that comes (as another reviewer mentioned) from using the entire apple, rather than just the juice, as most American producers do. While it lacks the funky complexity of the high end artisanal products, it’s very refreshing and great for casual drinking.

MaltyCulturalist (1) - - SEP 26, 2015 does not count This cider is being unjustly under-rated in these reviews .The distinctive flavor of this cider is entirely in line with the claim that it is made (as is written on the can) from English Cider apples, which have a flavor considered too bitter to be apples for eating. The "minerality", "rotten", or ’’sulfur" flavor are in fact likely because the cider has been be made using the entire apple, skin, core and all. If you have ever bitten too close to an apple core you could recognize the distinctive taste of tanin from the apple seeds in this cider .
This authentic cider flavor, while being an acquired taste, is superior to the sweeter flavor of cider made from apple juice, which is very common in America. I suspect that other brands are at least removing cores and skins, resulting in a tamer flavor.
