A little fem but not totally terrible bad. Of course, I’d never be caught ordering one. Basically tastes like a light lager but a little more like apple juice.

Smells of apple and a little yeasty. Yellow color, very clear. Salty and sweet. Not very dry. I drink this often.

Drank from a Duvel tulip. It says to serve this cold, but I’m a big believer in sampling everything at cellar temp. Crystal clear orange color, exactly like apple juice. A column of sparkling bubbles rises up the middle, instantly vanishing upon reaching the surface. No head whatsoever, even with an aggressive pour; just a wisp of white bubbles around the edge. But a head isn’t to be expected, and the color is nice, so I’ll give it a 2. Aroma is strange...apples of course, but there’s something else...I can only describe it as "macro-like"; very artificial. Mouthfeel starts with a bite (hello champagne yeast) then smooths out nicely. Body is of course very light and thin - this is nothing like the murky old-fashioned country cider most people think of (and which I happen to love). Anyway I enjoyed this palate for what it is. Flavor is all sweet, but mild; not much to say really, it’s just very refreshing. The finish starts to pucker slightly, adding some character. A pleasant drink, but the artificial smell offended me with every sip.

Pours golden amber coloring with strong hints of apple, with a sweet flavoring. Easily drinkable, and is what one would expect of a cider. I wouldn’t really put it as a beer.

Decent cider on the surface that seems to lack a soul. it has a good taste and smell but it vanishes quickly in your mouth and after a few minutes the cider in the bottle still has a weird processed smell to it.

I don’t know what to expect from ciders. They’re fermented apple juice so there isn’t too much to grade them on. Pours like it says, amber. Transparent (again, apple juice). Smells sweet, as expected. Tart apple. Tastes sweeter than the granny smith and fuller on the palate.
