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.

I do not consider this to be beer so it is strange to be rating it here. However, I enjoy this stuff more than a lot of the "bad" beers so I will rate it accordingly. This tastes a little more like apple juice than apple cider, but it tastes much more like cider than just pure juice. It’s sweet but not too sweet...much more drinkable than the abhorrent "wine-cooler"-style drinks. There’s a little bit of complexity to the flavor. I would appreciate it if there was a more rich flavor though, and more bitterness...sometimes when I get cider at the store it has a little bite to it, and this stuff doesn’t have enough bite. Also, why is this stuff so clear? Normal apple cider is cloudy...I think they’ve refined or purified this way too much.

This tastes like pure carbonated apple juice, with a hint of alcohol. I like apple cider, but this did not impress me at all.

Chicks drink. Yeah its sweet, tart, refreshing, and hides the alcohol very nicely. But all in all, I dont know if i’d ever want to be seen drinking this at a bar. Magners or Bulmers has this beat.

Hard to rate...smells like apples,tastes like apple cider and not much of a alcohol flavor. Good on a hot day,but only drink 1.
