Strongbow Honey and Apple Hard Cider Review

Strongbow Hard Cider
Stassen SA
Aubel, Belgium


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

On a hot and humid day grab yourself a Strongbow Honey and Apple Hard Cider.


Appearance: rich golden body with some bubbles slowly floating to the top

Aroma: a nectarine and apricot combination just in front of the fresh apple and pear; light honey sweetness

Flavors and Mouthfeel: follows the nose; the honey sweetness swirls around the flavors; low carbonation maybe low-moderate at best; fine fizzy feel; fruit upfront; sweet on the mid; dry yet sweet on the finish; light body overall; heavy on the sweetness



To the Point: the nose is very pleasing; a little more complex than the Strongbow Gold Apple Hard Cider on the nose and the palate; very tasty; perfect for a humid day like today; it is very sweet but not overpowering like the Gold Apple; there is a little bit of dryness that takes the edge off; I would try this one again
