Woodchuck Dark and Dry 802 Draft Cider

Brewed by Green Mountain Cidery (HP Bulmer)
Style: Cider
Middlebury, Vermont USA

Clear, reddish copper, no head. Clean, fresh apple aroma. Flavor of, well, apples. Some earthiness, some citrus notes.

i like this one almost as much as woodchucks amber. has more of an alcoholic beverage taste then the other woodchucks. Tastes dry but doesnt’ leave your math feeling dry. Goes down rather smooth.

Bottle: Completely clear dark amber (the exact color on the yeungling box actually) with a quickly fleeting off-white head. Aroma is pretty simple - very ripe apples, sugary apple pie, and apple skin. Taste is ripe apples, sugary lightly spiced apples pie, a bit of sweet cloying taste like a wine cooler, and a faint hint of lemon. Light bodied, watery, medium-spritzy carbonation, slightly acidic feel to your teeth after you drink it, though nowhere near the levels of some lambics. Pretty simple, what you see is what you get here.

Cloying in smell and taste. I expected more spice and more dryness, but this just came off as a sweetened malternative. I’d love to try a less sweet unfiltered version.

Pored dark brown amber aroma and flavor like a wine cooler. Apple flavor with nice sweet finish.

Not especially dry, with the addition of all that sugar. Looks like a thin brown ale. Lightly sweet, with a pleasant but unremarkable, standard cider flavor. Not as refreshing as some, but not heavy or filling.

Amber color with a small white lacing.Tart apple aroma and flavor. Wine -like character,finishes dry.

Another mediocre draft cider, why isn’t cider made opaque? I think it would look much better that way, more appetizing at least. This one doesn’t, and therefore tastes a little worse.
