igel (196), New Mexico, USA Sep 8, 2004 A chartreuse yellow color with trickles of carbonation and a wisp of a white head. Head has wicked poor retention and settles to a bubbly sticky lace. The aroma is almost offensive; a tartness and acidity that does not stimulate the glands (and a hint of esters in the background). The flavor is sweet on the start with a skunky tart finish. Palate is comparable to a flat Orange Crush ? no carbonation and a syrupy texture.
IMHO: A flaccid concoction if there ever was one. I am usually quite forgiving, but this cider should not be on the market.
BillKismet (1899), Seattle, Washington, USA Feb 22, 2003 The first cider I have had in ages, so maybe that skews my ratings. Blonde, with a possibly green tint. This aroma and flavor was of pear/candy cider--quite jolly rancherish--a bit too much so--though still tasty and enjoyable. ciderguy (98), Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 5, 2002 Hold your nose, here it comes! This stuff is pretty rough. I bought a six pack and I think have only finished three of them in a year’s time. Serious aftertaste which approachers being bitter. billb (237), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Jan 5, 2001 Can you say sweet? The sweetness overwhelms everything, in fact, I can’t even taste the pear that’s supposed to be in there. Carbonated sugar water. britab99 (65), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Jan 5, 2001 Not very good. No apparant flavor, just extremely sweet. I give it a thumbs down.
