The cider colors transparent and champage-colored. The carbonation is moderate and dies rapidly. It releases a subdued, white head that falls short of half a finger and melts rushedly down to zero. The scent is sweet. Apple is recognizeable but somewhat artificial. The taste is an even bigger disappointment: oversweet essence of apple. I also find a bit of mouthwatering pear. The palate is rather artificial and industrial. A faint boozy note disturbs, as well. The cider finishes fairly rapidly. The mouthfeel is sappy, synthetic and industrial. It's also distantly alcoholic. Not good at all.
