Still kind of new to rating ciders but they are starting to grow on me as a thirst quencher. Faint aroma of golden delicious apples - appearance - golden and clear - little to no bubble action. Very smooth flavor - could see drinking several of these in a sitting. Palate - 5 for its smoothness and no aftertaste.

Light orange and clear, little head, slightly bubbly. Apple aroma, of course. Clean, efferescent, refreshing (after taking a beating from a StoneRuination), a bit champgney. Light carbonation. Good cider, easy and even fun to drink.

I was fairly surprised with the Woodchuck ciders because they are extremely easy to drink. They are a little sour - but what can you expect from a cider. These are worth the try.

This has got to be the best hard cider I have ever had. Has a light yellow color with little carbonation and a sweet apple smell. Taste is of apples with a light alcohol flavor and finishes sweet. Overall again this is the best hard cider I have ever had...

Lots of apples here, in both flavor and aroma. Light amber in color, with scant head as usual. Not bad, but not really great either.

A cider all right, very little evidence of a "beer" here. But if you like apples you cant go wrong. Appearance is of a lager with almost no head. Lets just call you Johnny Applehop, get it?

Pours an extremely light yellow color, with a white head. Apple aroma, apple taste, not much carbonation. Ends sweet.

Disappointing. No head but that’s expected. Nice golden color and a smell of apples, cloves, and allspice. Promising. But. . .highly fizzy but went quickly flat as it warmed. Clean feeling and a nice appley aftertaste. Tasted more like hard apple juice with spice than cider. I’m a huge fan of fresh cider and start to salivate around mid-October when the local farms start to set up their roadside cider stands. This was not cider. They took away the lovely cider sharpness and bite and replaced it with alcohol. If you want cider stick with fresh cider. The cost of this is comparable to a half gallon of fresh and fresh cider is SO much better than this.
