Blah. A boring cider. Aroma was weak and near nothing. Light apple with the alcohol being stronger (only 5%). Pour was an OK medium gold with a thin off white ring for a head. Taste was very watery.There is only a slight apple flavor with the good strong carbonation overpowering it. I don’t drink ciders that often but this is one of the worst that I’ve had.

Served up at Hang Fire, a small, local dive bar in Savannah, Georgia. Appearance: Pours a crystalline, yellow body with no real head despite an enthusiastic pour. Smell: Vaguely sweetish scent of boiled apples, stems and all. Taste: Exceedingly simple apple flavor with a curiously artificial-feeling sweetness to it. Very juice box-esque. Dash of sulfites. Finishes right about the time you become disheartened at the absence of character and overall lack of flavor. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Far from a superior cider, but if your angle is to find carbonated, easy to drink, alcoholic apple juice then this should be right up your alley.

On tap at Novare Res. Well this was a mistake. I had the Etienne Dupont and figured all ciders would be that good. Not so much, this is just like apple juice, no flavor to it at all. Not a drain pour, and it’s drinkable, but where’s the complexity here? How am i supposed to remember this drink?!

Pint on tap at the Friend at Hand, Russell Square, London. Clear light gold colour, with an extremely limited and loose head. So typically cider in its looks. It is crisp and refreshing, with a slightly bittersweet flavour. Nothing brilliant about it, but nothing wrong with it either.

I’m not a huge cider drinker, but this one was very good! Poured a clear, orangey-yellow. Very crisp flavor and mouthfeel. Sweet and sour, just like you’d expect. If you’re into the style, this is a great one!

Of all the ciders we tried this evening, this was by far the one with the most apple character to it. Good in small 3 or 4oz. samples, but I’m not sure about a whole bottle.

Pours a golden colour. Aroma of malt and apple. Flavour is unpleasant, sickly sweet, apple juice. I really didn’t enjoy this one.
