On tap at one of my favorite watering holes in Eindhoven NL. Pours a clear pale golden color, no foam, light fruity apples in the nose, sweet and dry taste, flat with a cheap champagne-like finish, the relative dryness makes it just drinkable . As a matter of fact, I passed it off to my date....it was her idea to get it anyway. Yikes.

Light lager-ish look with less carbonation. No head. Weak apple aroma, though pleasant. Dry, tart apple flavor. No real body. A little vinegar? Cerainly not the best cider I’ve had. Not much here except a halfway pleasant, easy-drinking, apple-flavored alcohol delivery device.

Nice dryish cider. Refresing, crisp tart apples. Nice carbonation with a clean finish

16 oz can, Whip in Liquors, Austin, Tx. Pours a medium golden with little to no head. Aroma has a strong apple quality to it. Flavor follows suit with some stong applesauce notes, reminding one of golden delicious apples. Somewhat thick mouthfeel, a most decent cider.

Not a bad cider. I am more of a fan of the sweeter ciders, so my first few bottles of this were disheartening. However, towards the end of the six-pack, I was really enjoying it. Crisp, apply, dry - I would drink one occasionally, but would not make this a session cider.

I’m not a huge fan of ciders, and Strongbow didn’t do anything to change to my attitude towards them. It poured nice enough, and had a pleasing aroma, but it tasted aweful. Maybe it’s good in certain situations, but I think it’s just too sweet to enjoy.

Wow! I was surprised to see this in my local "Roth’s" IGA in 500ml cans. Its been years..13 or so to be exact. Its actually not that bad looking a cider..light golden colour with an initial bubbly white head..some remeians around the glass as I drink. The aroma though is not that good very sweet apple ( candyish). The taste though is not so sweet as the nose..and its actually quite "realistic" red apples mostly. Mouthfeel is ok, not overcarbonated like many American ciders...though this is not a DRY cider even if it says so on the can. I actually found this quite refreshing and very drinkable after a particularlly long ,hard day at work
