Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Can from a Coop. Its a bland cider with vague apple and no character. Not sweet not dry just bland apple mush on the finish. Pretty dull.
500ml can. Pours light gold with no head. Aroma is like a tramps breath. Sourish start. Sweet apples on the dry finish.
Bottle from SB 2005! AR/F: wee apple, bitter, and ver dry! Dont wanna buy it again so that is why rating is short!
