Brewed by Green Mountain Cidery (HP Bulmer)
Style: Cider
Middlebury, Vermont USA

Pour is a pee looking yellow with no head. Aroma is sugar with some apple juice thrown in there. Flavor is more sugar with some apple then comes a bittness on the back end. Its a cider not much else to say.

12 ounce bottle - 1.29 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours out a clear, pale, lightly-hued, yellow body with a touch of green in there as well. Smallish white head. Smell: Sweet-scented aroma of apple juice with negligible hints of alcohol and everso wholesome sulfites. Taste: Sweetish apple flavor tasting of a combo of both Red Delicious and maybe some green Granny Smith apples. One percent of my daily recommended dosage of sodium. Finishes somewhat sweetish, regardless of the "rather dry" bit on the front label and with a lingering of tangy Granny Smith apple character. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation. Drinkability: Not a terrible little cider, really. It’s sweet without being too sweet, the alcohol isn’t really noticeable, and it is very reasonable at a mere, scant 120 calories.

Exceptionally pale yellow pour with no head. Honestly, Bud Light has more color than this. The aroma is apple cider vinegar. It’s sour, like apple juice gone bad. The flavor isn’t much better but adds a sort of dusty, musty like quality. The body is quite a let down too. Very dry, acidic, and thin but at least it’s not over carbonated. This barely passes for drinkable.

Not a good weekend for beer tasting - a few mediocre marzens, a couple of dull ciders. This stuff was the worst. I used to like it, but they appear to have changed their recipe - perhaps put in some cost cutting measures like replacing apples with apple flavor. Nice label. Very pale pour. Bland aroma. This is very much lacking in spark and taste. It only improved when I mixed it with some beer.

Bottle. A pale golden body with a fizzy white head and a shallow stream of carbonation. Sweet cider y cut up apple slices light apple cider body with some mildly tart apple skins and darker fruit body. My only complaint is this sulfuric finish that seems to stink slightly on the roof of my mouth.

Very fizzy and very dry. Almost like champagne. It goes down easy enough, but I prefer the softer, sweeter, and mushier JK Scrumpy cider.

Crystal clear, pale metalic pour with a faint white trace of a head. Minimal apple aroma. Tart, crisp apple flavor. Sour finish. Not a bad cider.

We sell a lot of this at work, so I had to try one. Pretty much the same thing I’ve grown to expect from most ciders. Sweet and granny smith appley up front, with touches of spice and tartness with fizzes towards the back. Lightly watery. Still looking for that cider that’s going to blow me away! Recommendations anyone?
