Strongbow Gold Apple Hard Cider Review

Strongbow Gold Apple Hard Cider
Stassen SA
Aubel, Belgium


5% abv
Sample bottle from Importer
Gluten Free; apple juice concentrate; glucose-fructose syrup

Take a Break from that beer that leaves you with that sluggish feel on a hot summer day.  Find yourself a refreshing Hard Cider.


Appearance: sparkling golden crystal body with a few bubbles slowly floating to the top

Aroma: fresh sweet apple and pear; cotton candy like

Flavors and Mouthfeel: Fuji and Gala sweet apple with a light tart note of a honeycrisp; ripe pear in the mix; very crisp almost creamy feel; low carbonation that gives you a fine fizzy feel; sweet upfront; very light tart note on the mid; sweet on the finish; light body overall; heavy on the sweetness



To the Point: the nose is very inviting; if you like a sweet hard cider this is it; to me it is very refreshing at first and then the sweetness takes its toll on me
