Bright yellow in color with a small fizzy white head. Aroma is packing tape, wet dog and apple. Taste is acidic with some band-aid and apples...dry.

Pours pale straw color with a thin white head. Smells of sugar and boozy. Tastes of apple juice and boozines.

pale watery yellow color with a white head that disappears fast. nose is ripe apples with a sugar coating. not bad on the palate with an apple flavor that is overpowered by sugar.

500mL can from the LCBO. Second installment in my new "Shameless tick-rating Saturday series". Pours a pale yelllow with no head, highly effervescent. Aroma is alright, smells of apples surprisingly. But not rotten apples, semi-decent smelling apples, and no skunk, and nothing that makes me want to vomit, which is typically a plus. Flavour is actually quite tart, upfront loads of sour apple tartness with some synthetic sweetness rounding it out. Dryness follows in the finish with some dullness possibly from the booze. This is actually a decent drink for something I thought I’d take two sips of and drain pour the rest. Everything fizzes away so quickly on the palate there’s little opportunity to find anything offensive about it. Doesn’t necessarily provoke any real interest in cider in me though. Not sure why it’s rated so low, remnants of bad teen-drinking experiences from a lot of people perhaps?

This is a fine dry cider. Plenty of tart apple flavor without the excess sugar many ciders exhibit. If judged strictly as a cider, without comparison to beer, then this would score higher.

Yellow pour with small white head. Flavor of SURPRISE apples! Same thing for the aroma. It is what it is after all, fermented apple cider, but yet its decently enjoyable.
