VIKBO CIDER, Strawberry Blueberry. 4.5% alcohol I've opened it up, and the berry scent has filled my entire room. I can already tell this is going to be vile, so without further ado, SLÁINTE! HUH! It's actually... not as sweet as the Röd Rabarber? Still tastes decidedly fake, though, like berry cough syrup. I don't know what E330, E150b, E163, E331 or E202 are, but I assume they are types of carcinogens. So, off to Ye Olde Googleheim! Cursory searching indicates that: E330 is citric acid E150b is caramel color E163 is an anthocyanin (food coloring) E331 is sodium citrate (a preservative) E202 is potassium sorbate (another preservative) Well! This shit wouldn't fly in the US, where the "eat only things you recognize/can pronounce" movement is in full force. We spell out our additives, dang it. Anyway, this is pear and apple cider wearing another cider's hat, which is starting to make me feel gross whenever I drink one. I guess if it was the only thing around, I'd probably drink a few, but I'm starting to realize that that's not the greatest metric. C+
