pasturized cider... expiry?

Post by zorak1066 »

hi
got a bottle of pasturized cider that is about 3 years old and was never opened. any idea if something like this would be safe to drink if it doesnt smell or taste of vinegar? or worse? or just dump it to be on the safe side?

thanks

I guess it'd have to pass the sniff and taste test...only one way to find out that I know of..

I'm sure "squirties" is a technical term.

We might want to check with legal before we go flinging words around like "Squirties", I mean that they might think we're doctors or sump'tin. We'd have to have Doc check it over before we could say stuff like that...
