Mar 25, 2008 (12oz bottle, best by 6/03/08) Minimal fizzy head that vanishes immediately to leave a nearly still, crystal clear apple juice body. Aroma is moderately sweet, apple, perfume, some tartness, some astringency. Taste is medium sweet, apple, some seltzer. Minimally carbonated light body, minimal crispness.

Nov 6, 2009 Draft… Clear, light straw-colored cider with no head. The aroma is of oven-baked, spiced apples. Light-bodied with a mildly creamy mouthfeel and a rumor of carbonation. Nice balance between sweetness and acidity. Tart, dry finish

Oct 16, 2007 I’m surprised to be the first to review this one. Pours yellow. Smells a little on the fusel side initially before swet tarte apples reveal themselves. Some sugary hints come out as the cider warms. Mouthfeel is a little on the thin side as is to be expected of a cider. Finisg is sweet with some tarte undertones. A surprising release from Harpoon in that it is very palatable.

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.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle: Flat, no head. Nose is light with apple but more on the sulpher and burnt wood side. The flavor is sweet and tepid with a cloying aftertaste and a dull thin body. Not very up front with the fresh apples or showing off a more dry yeasty musky side either. Kinda boring.

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.

May 2, 2008 Pours very light golden greenish with no head. Aroma is apple, pear, white grape. Tastes like good apple cider from a afarm diluted and mixed with stale cardboard and plastic. This one is one of the few ciders I’ve had that got worse as ti warmed, showing its true colors as a mass market abomination that cause me to drain pour the last few ounces. I harbor no ill will toward Harpoon, but they need to stay out of the cider market and continue making mediocre beers.
