Smells a lot like apples and sugar. Tastes a lot like apples and sugar. Alcohol is not very noticeable, but it’s almost too sweet to drink. Nonetheless, it finishes much dryer than, say, Woodchuck cider. So, I guess the situation could be worse. To recap: very sweet, but not the sweetest on the market. If that’s your thing, step right up. If it’s not, I suggest buying a beer instead.

Enjoyed via draft in a pub glass. The cider pours a light golden color that borders on perhaps being a full-yellow. Small white head that lasts about two minutes. Nose of apple juice from concentrate, artificial sweetner, and a bit of a sour twang. The palate is nicely carbonated, and strikes a balance between being sweet up front, showing a nice, if fairly simple and straightforward, character. One downfall is what appears to be the prevalent character of concentrated sweetners added back to the beverage post-fermentation. The finish moves from being sweet up front to nicely dry on the back end, with a subtle but noticeable note of acidity. Overall, obviously aimed for the masses, but not terrible.

12 oz bottle. Pours a pale yellow color with a almost nonexistent almost instantly vanishing white head. It has a faint apple aroma. It has a very nice dry apple flavor and a slight wine like taste along with some tartness. I liked this hard cider.

Yellow color with a diminished head of white bubbles. Plastic and apple skin aromas. Sweet candy apple flavors in the start. Middle has a bit of acidity. dryer finish with some more apple skin. Apple juice with a carbonated water kick.

Can. Clear golden yellow with a small amount of head. Decent appley aroma with a hint of champagne. Medium body with with champagne like carbonation. Flavour is basic apples, nothing complex, but I detect grapes also. Whilst not dry by scrumpy standards, it pleasantly strikes a reasonable balance. It’s a drinkable mainstream cider but nothing special (but I don’t driunk a lot of cider, so these are not knowledgeable comments.)
