Wouldn't worry, try it might be very good. what was it like originally? I have some that is 18 months old and it's not very good. but then it wasn't very good from the start.

Just cracked open the turbo cider a few days late! I think I remember brewing it with Sainsburys basic Apple juice, not sure how much sugar but must have aimed for around 6%... I also added splenda to back sweeten. Opened the bottle to a light hiss, poured into glass, light carbonation noted. very pale golden colour hint of apple on the nose. Tastes like slightly sour apple sweets but with a hint of dryness but not lip puckering! I think with the slightly sour taste some people might like to sweeten some more with lemonade or maybe blackcurrant cordial! Overall very pleased :mrgreen:
