500ml can (Lidl, as ’Karlens Dry Apple Cider’)
Abyssmal pale colour. Slightly egg farty aroma before the wave of amyl acetate and sugar kicks in. Incredibly watery palate. Fizzy. Taste is thin. Kivenlahti tapwater has more taste than this. This, however, tastes better than the dilute solution of iron, calcium, and magnesium salts that comes out of my tap, but that’s about the only positive thing I can say about it. COMPLETE CRAP. At least it’s not actually nasty.

It is a light golden cider with a white head. The aroma has notes of sweet, fresh, red apples. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of apple, oven baked apple and light syrup. It is quite OK, could be less sweet and a little more crisp though...

Can (as Rainbow Apple Dry). More yellow than the other rainbows, no head. Aroma is green apples, sourness and some mild barnyardy notes. Flavour is sweet rotten apples along with some tartness and mild notes of melted rubber. Quite nice for a Finnish cider actually.

(Can 50 cl) Courtesy of oh6gdx. Pours an almost crystal clear with a vague greenish tint and a small rough off-white head. Lightly tart apple aroma. Light-bodied with a heavy carbonation and fairly authentic apple notes, tart at first but with a discreet underlying sweetness. Surprisingly decent. 180808
