This is absolutely one of the best ciders I’ve ever had. It is unusually bweautiful for a cider, golden with a very large white head steadily dissipatin to a thin,. lasting head and elaving even a few hints of lace. Most ciders have only a thin, airy head and, regardless of the head size, no head retention whatsoever, much less lace. The aroma is full, ripe green apples. The taste is full and crisp. It has ripe green apples, slightly tart, along with ripe sweet red apples. It’s not too sweet and not too dry, with great balance and lasting flavur. A light yeatsy character builds to the finish, really adding to the apple in the lng aftertaste. It has unusually good complexity for a cider.

light colored with a nice head on it. Light tartness and not to much sweetness of this. Nice dry finish and just enough carbination. A good session cider.

Bottle. Pours a clear treacle hued amber with a thin white head. Big sweet apple, a hint of pear. Medium bodied, light sweetness, apples, light tang. Crisp dry finish with a light lingering tartness. Rather tasty.

I wasn’t aware that we could rate ciders... anyhoo here goes. Aroma consists simply apple peels. Darker looking than your average macro lager. It’s nice taste like ripe apples but not too sweet. If I had to put my finger on it I’d say it’s like Fuji apples (a personal favorite apple of mine). Overall it’s a nice cider... not too sweet or overpowering, drinkable.

Aroma of apple (of course) with some light white grape and champagne notes. Appearance is golden with light creamy head. Flavor is champagne influenced apple with a white grape finish. Palate is bubbly and lively. A decent first cider. I look forward to trying some of the higher rated ciders.

Tastes more like a white wine than a cider. Aroma is dry and slightly sweet. Seems more like a cider for those who like wine than beer lovers.

Aroma is of apples. Pours a pale gold with a very thick, fizzy white head. Taste is more apple juice than cider. Very dry and sweet. Not bad but could use a higher abv.

Bottled. Poured a pale fizzy yellow. Pretty standard aroma, taste was refreshing and not a whole bunch of alcohol. Pretty god.

Clear fizzy yellow, lively, effervescent... Aroma is quite vinous, and very much like a regular non-alcoholic cider would be... Apples dominate the flavor profile, dry, not sweet, a nice cider, but not much better than the average ones especially given the price tag..
