Bottle - Golden yellow in color. Nice sweet apple aroma. Too sweet for my taste; needs to be more tart.

This was a bit bland and too sweet compared to the dark & dry. Tasted like an alcopop.

On tap. Hazy golden coloring with a white head that diminishes slowly. Aroma of granny smith apples. The taste was mildly carbonated with sour apple and sparkling wine throughout. I prefer K Draft Cider, but this isn’t horrible by any means. Refreshing.

Mmmm, woodchucky. I’ve never had a premium cider, so I don’t know what I’m talking about. It’s tasty, and a nice alternative to equally(?) sweet malternitives.

This was my favorite of the Woodchuck styles that I had. Nice apple aroma, with a great red delicious taste. Great tart apple finish with smoothness and a blast of sweetness. Great stuff.

[bottle] Pours a yellowish color that reminds me of apple juice with very little head. Lots of carbonation. Smelled like a mixture of apple juice and champagne. Tasted like carbonated apple juice... sweet taste, but not overly sweet, and a nice semi-dry finish. Not bad.

Body is light with medium carbonation. Sugary. Not an overwhelming apple presence, but enough to stand out. Apple aroma as well. Better than some of Woodchuck’s other ciders, but not special.

Basically tasted like a bland lager with some apple juice added; very sweet. No head, just some bubbles. Aroma was sweet and like apple juice. This is my first rated cider. I’d really like to have a "real" cider. It was OK, but I don’t have to drink this stuff again.
