Draft. And crappy - like flavored water, you can not reallly fill out the character count here.

bottle as lice cold filtered blackthorn cider 5.5% appears orange, small white head. aroma alc. sweetness from apples, slight acidness. flavor is very dry, campagne or dry white wineish, not very sour, not very acid, not very sweet. just dry. nice, but i miss a lot more apple sweetness and acid before i clap my hands.

On draft at Redlight. Not a strong apple scent and slightly metallic. Taste is of apples, but not overly sweet. Very dry.

Man this stuff is harsh. Yellow pour, not much of a head. Aroma is some nasty apples and flavor is just awful. Old apple vinegar mixed with sparkling wine? Barf.

Pours with a clear yellow body, no head. A slight haze. Aroma of sulfur, cardboard, and vinegar. Taste is vinegar with a hint of dry apples. Lightish carbonation, water like to dry mouthfeel. Not a great cider. Could have sworn that I rated this before I had it again tonight...

Wow, this stuff is awful. Tastes exactly as the last rater put it: Cheap, cheap champagne. I can’t really elaborate on that except this: Take perfectly good apple juice, add half a shot of Safeway Select vodka and a splash of lemon juice, and here’s what you get. No wonder it’s only $4 a quart. Bunk.

Draft, NYC, Looks, smells, and tastes like a cheap champagne. Very little sweet aroma, taste is rather bitter and too dry, and palate is harsh. It was a hassle getting this pint down.

Draft at Ye Olde Kings Head: Dry, white wine like. No head, light orange color, little aroma.
