Strongbow Cider

Brewed by Bulmers Cider (S&N, Heineken)
Style: Cider
Hereford, England

Couleur d’or. Arome de pomme très faible. Goût d’acide et de jue commercial.

Poured light gold. Aroma was a weak hint of apples. Flavor was white grapes and butter. Watery and crappy. Can I get a Mike’s hard lemonade please?

Clear gold. Insignificant, fizzy, soda like head quickly disappears. Nose of apple skin, grain, and apple juice. Same flavor, in reverse order. Juice then grain, then skin. Starts very sweet, but finishes rather dry. Medium, balanced body. Very drinkable.

Can- Sparkling gold with very little activity. Fruity apple nose with sugars and alcohol. Sweet and sticky. Artificial apples and white grapes. Sweet finish, semi dry. No legging or length to speak of. Underwhelming.

Clear bottled Golden cider, vinous, apply, and simple. Sweet, dry finish, a bit like Schorle.

This had not much of an aroma. Slightly fruity perhaps. The appearance was like unto a bud light almost - thin and watery. It’s flavour was similar, but with more of an apple tinge. The palate is superficial and the wateriness and shallowness of character lead to an overall score of 9.

(Strongbow Dry Cider bought in Krakow in 0,275l bottle). Ah... Strongbow Cider. Reminds me of my awesome holiday in London way back in 2002, but it’s not just the nostalgia, I really enjoy it. Pours yellowy colour with no head (no wonder, it’s a cider). Rather ratty smell but tastes good, non-artificial, not sweet apple flavour. Very light, ideal for summertime. It’s not a beer but I still like it. Pity it’s rare and expensive in Poland.

No head in pour, body is gold. Aroma is like a cheap wine, with apples. Taste is tart , apples, cinnamon, still has the cheap white wine that was found in the aroma too.
