pours a reddish brown color w/ a small off white head and soem avg lacing. Aroma is light tart apple cider w/ some sweet notes and a touch of carmel. Palate is a bit thin but wellc arbonated nad coats ok. Flavor is actually pretty good.. Not a great cider but much better than regular woodchuck (much less sweeter).

No thanks. If I want cider, I’ll get plain cider. Absolutely no added value to the product with alcohol present. Carbonated thin mouthfeel with no head or lacing. Flavor was sweet apple cider blended with champagne. This isn’t beer, a subclass, or even a relative. If it is, then wines and champagnes should be added as a category of beer.

Bottle poured a clear reddish copper with a small quickly dissapating amber head. Aromas of apples! Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of sweet apples, then some tartness with a tart dry finish.

Deep amber body with a thin head - Whoops! Scratch the head. The aroma is sweet fresh apples with a touch of tartness. The sweet apples take over the flavor with a hint of sourness returning in the dry, apple skin finish. Not bad.

bottle - Pours amber and clear with a thin white head. There’s a decent apple aroma. The flavor is kind of sweet, but not cloyingly sweet like the amber. I like the balance better on this one. There’s some tartness and a mildly dry finish. Not bad.

Medium bronze with a tiny white head. Distinctive aroma of tart apples. Dry apple taste with a tart finish.

Pours a clear, brownish-amber with a fizzy film that faded in a flash to absolute nothingness. Sour apple and oaky notes in the aroma. Flavor starts sweet and sugary (amost syrupy) with toffee notes, turning to sour apple with light vinegar. Light carbonation and a hint of ABV contribute to a dry finish. Minimal acidity. Rather nice.
