Oct 12, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a dark golden color without any head. Sweet apple juice aroma. Taste includes apple juice, and a light caramel/toffee flavor. Dry, tart finish. I liked this better than the other Woodchuck ciders I have tried. It seems like there is a little bit more too it.

Sep 17, 2008 Dark amber color. Moderate carbonation. Aroma and taste are apple juice. Pure apple juice. Some subtle carbonation feel, but really, it’s just apple juice. Not very dark or very dry and slightly tart in the finish. Bottle from a sampler.

Aug 28, 2008 Pours a nice copper with no head, but its a cider so thats to be expected. Nice fresh apple flavor with hints of champagne to it. Crisp, sweet finish. Very drinkable. Definitely worth a try

Aug 12, 2008 8/12/08 From the bottle. Aroma is almost malty, with caramel, but not cloyingly sweet. Apple character is much more muted, with only faint tartness. Appearance is almost copper gold with a low white head that emerges with time, rather than fading away. Flavor is fairly complex for a cider, with an almost dark fruit kind of character, caramel sweetness and a kind of earthy champagne carb note that’s tough to describe, but helps. Mouthfeel is medium/full bodied with a medium carb texture and and slight sourness tang. Overall, this has a nice balance of familiar and complex elements to keep it still approachable.

Jul 28, 2008 Updated: May 18, 2009I only discovered recently that one can rate ciders on ratebeer. This got me thinking for a minute - they are different creatures, after all, and it is hard to really compare a beer to a cider. They sometimes taste very good together, tho. Beers are heavier and more complex overall, but I have always enjoyed cider as well as beer. This is one of the better ones. It has a nice, copper-gold color and a mild, apple and herb aroma. This has a dry, citrus and apple taste. Woodchuck is available in New England and NY, but it is hard to find good hard cider in many parts of the USA.
