Can. Pours an orange body with no head. Aroma is apple spice. Taste is smooth with a slight hint of spice.

[2171-20090519] 500mL can. Mild stinky socks aroma has some cardboard, sand and grass notes. Clear, medium orange brown body with a quick bubbly off-white head. Mild apple juice flavour. Watery light body seems flat with a mild tang. Seems overly water, not offensive exactly but nothing much there either.
(from Dunnes Stores; Ennystimon, Ireland; w/ jerc)

2009-05-19. Dark yellow-amber body. Mild aroma has light musty touches, bit of feet. Sweet overall, apple juice character, bit of a rough dry finish, sweet cider and juice is the core of the flavour. Average palate, touch thin. Meh. Can from Dunnes, Ennis

Ok, this was never going to be the best cider I’d ever tasted, but for the money (£1.79 for 2 litres, Somerfield) I cant really complain, I had it chilled, it was refreshing, and while the apple aromas and flavours didn’t jump out the glass at me, it wasn’t THAT objectionable either.

I had this from a can (in a glass I’m not a savage!) and it was reasonable value. I think there are better ciders in the price range and much better ciders if you raise your sights up a little. As with al cheap cider it is greatly improved if you spice it up with a little ginger wine.

Too big bottle. Golden with no head. Aromas are sour and quite harsh, with apple and chemicals. Flavours are dry in a chemical fashion with artificially sweet apple. Pretty bad.
