This bottled brew poured a small head of finely sized mostly disappearing bubbles that left behind a fair lacing and a Transparent uncarbonated brwon colored body. The aroma can be smelled as soon as the cap is removed. It has a nice brown aroma to the apple notes. The flavor is very nice with apple and brown notes present and the mouthfeel is smooth and tingly from start to finish. This is one of the better tasting ciders I have yet to sample.

A strong amber coloured body with absolutely no head. Aroma of green apples, caster sugar, caramel and a slight amount of red apples. Sweet taste of red apples mixed with a bit of the granny smith tartness. Aftertaste is somewhat dry, but overall a bit sweet. The alcohol is hidden really well in this cider, I can detect nothing! Overall, a decent cider-good for a drinker who doesn't want that 'harsh alcoholic note'. I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia and sampled it on 22-December-2003.

Mahogany body, no head, few bubbles. Sweet apple aroma. Taste of red apples, not too dry as the name suggests. Basically like a good apple juice. I liked the Granny Smith better.

Nice color and smell to it. I like it more than the other woodchucks, but it's not quite as refreshing as the crisper ciders. This one is a little too dry to drink many at a time.

Has a nice dark amber color with some carbonation and a sweet apple smell. Taste is like a candy apple, very sweet. Overall a good cider, but it is a bit too sticky to drink all the time. I prefer the crisp ciders.

This cider had a sharper apple taste than the other Woodchucks that I have sampled. But after getting used to the initial flavor of the cider, it was quite enjoyable.

This is the best of all the two draft ciders i've tasted. I enjoy it very much.

Fresh apple cider smell-musky. Faint. Dark amber clear with very little foam. Watery body with very light carb. Weak cider taste-not unlike the other Woodchucks. Watery and a clean, dry after. White wine sulphury after.
