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

12 ounce bottle. Pours a very very clear and very pale yellow color with a thin head. Fair head retention ad lacing. Ah... this is one of those "ciders" with shit thrown in. Good thing it was free. Drain pour coming. Faint grainy green apple aroma. Taste is grainy tart green apple. Thin bodied. Not much going on here,

$1.50 tick from New Beer. Green stubby bottle. Pint glass pour. Same guys that make Woodchuck. Oh crap. Ingredients: ...less then one percent of: malic acid, NATURAL APPLE FLAVOR(huh?), sorbate and sulfites(yay! :) to preserve flavor. 5%ABV. Faint, almost colorless, clear, generic cream soda color. Lasting, scummy white paste head. Smells exactly like my last pour of Woodchuck, which is nothing more then Y?-grade apples, compost, sulfur & yeast. Taste isn’t terrible. Just not appetizing & unbashfully artificial. Soft carbonation, confectioners sugar, severely watered-down apple sauce, old beer residue, dusty preservatives, & a little tin. Half sour, thin, flat Canada Dry finish.

Lame- sour, crappy. Watery and thing. High carbonation sting. This is better than a lot of ciders, but not by a much. Bottle at The Abbey, Miami Beach.

Bottle compliments of Sparky27...thanks Eric!!! 10 karat crystal clear pour with a razor thin whispy white head and no lacing. This one is all Granny Smith (which is what one would expect). An enjoyable beverage.

Pours a clear yellow with lots of carbonation. Aroma is tart apples and a little jolly rancher chemical. Flavor is ok, a touch sweet, but a nice tart finish. Decent cider.

Bottle. Pours a clear bright gold with a half finger white head. The nose is unripe apples. The taste is tart apple upfront that finishes sweet, but not overbearing. Light prickly mouthfeel. Good refreshing cider.

Bottle. Pours light gold with a fizz white head. Tart green apple aroma. The flavor has tart and dry apple sweetness with a dry and lightly acidic finish. Not bad.

Tasted 3/21/09. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a pale golden hue. Trace ring of tiny bubbles. Aromas of, well you guessed it...apples. Also a touch earthy and a slight perfumy quality. Medium bodied and, actually quite dry. Tart and tangy. Pleasant effervescence. Slight acidic zip in the finish. While I’m not the biggest fan of ciders, this was quite a surprise. Not too complex, but very drinkable. Moderate sweetness, but it doesn’t go over the top. If cider is your thing, this is worth trying.
