50 cL can, courtesy of pinball, 5.3%. Pours clear and golden/pale yellow with a fizzy white head. Mild apple and phenolic aroma. Sweet apple flavoured at first with a dry phenolic apple flavour following. Mild bitter to acidic finish.

Botella. Clear pale golden colur. Good apple aroma. Good pleasant mouthfeel. The flavour has pleasant sweet apples with a spitzy finish. Bit thin but good.

can 500ml, 5.3% stamp on can stating medium dry cider. not much aroma. clear yellow, no head, flavor is apple, cellar, slight acid, dry, better than those that just tastes like apple juice.

Can 50 cl, drank it directly from the can. Aroma is exactly like apple-juice. Flavor is smooth and dry like apple-juice too. Very sweet and no depth in the taste too. Just a plain English cider, nothing else

50cl can (green). Golden colour, no head. No apples in the aroma, just a synthetic smell that I recognize from my medical cabinet. Very sour, all-Granny Smith citrus taste, again with an unpleasant synthetic subtext. Medium carbonation, thin mouthfeel. A little like "Sauer Gespritzter" apple wine from Frankfurt - and that’s not a compliment. I like my cider a bit more fruity and full-bodied. This one doesn’t do it for me!

1 litre green plastic bottle from Systembolaget. An instantly dying white head over a bright yellow colored body with noisy carbonation. Weak mineralic apple aroma. A note of sulphur. Taste is dryish, clean and fruity, quite artificial though, with a sour-acidic accent. Very soft and rather diluted mouthfeel. Short, light acidic finish. Bland and boring.

Bottled. Clear pale yellow, no head. Sweet and artificial. Lifeless fizzy apple juice. No complexity. Industrial and dull.

Can, 5.3%. Clear yellow colour. Watery apple juice flavour. Thin and boring.
