| 0.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 1/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 2/20 | Oct 30, 2009 Bottle thanks to cavie. Pours with a real pale and watery looking body and the faintest of heads. Sickly sweet aroma that smells exactly like an green apple flavored Jolly Rancher. Taste is cloyingly sweet and disgusting. Watery and fizzy.
I refuse to believe that this cider does not have any thing artificial in it...especially sweeteners. This stuff is an assault on true ciders. Absolute crap! chriso (4852), London, Greater London, England
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 30, 2009 On tap at Harpoon Brewery, 8 October 2009. The guide made a big thing of this being the most natural cider around. Obviously he had never heard of traditional farmhouse ciders, which became clear when I explained that cider could be fermented from the natural yeasts on the apple skins and he was not aware of that. In reality, although this was better than most "industrial" ciders, it was pretty lacking in interest compared to a real farmhouse cider. Clean enough, with lots of apple flavour. Relatively sweet. Straightforward and easy drinking. Not much else to say.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 20, 2009 Tried a sample at Brewfest Tallahassee. Whoa, they missed the mark here somehow. This tastes like carbonated apple juice mixed with some vodka... not good. blutt59 (2186), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 13, 2009 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours a very light straw yellow with a VERY fast fading white fizzy head...took like a second to dissipate. Aroma is light fresh red apples. Flavor is of light apples. Mouth feel is fizzy and very watery. Overall, it’s tasty but it is just a weak attempt at a cider.....weak on aroma, taste, appearance and mouth feel.....it will quench a thirst....by no means is it nasty, just very weak.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 29, 2009 Bottle from Pat’s Liquors in Porter, Indiana: Not a lot to report here. It pours a pale, clear yellow body with a tad of visible carbonation, most of the tiny bubbles glued to the bottom of the glass. The aroma is fresh, soft sweet apples. Pretty much the taste of it, too, except that there’s a slight flavor of apple skin and the modest amount of spritziness keeps it from getting too sweet. Okay, I s’pose.
