A simple cider that I like to fall back on. Has a scent and taste of sour apples. Not over complex or sweet. Finishes dry in the mouth and goes down pretty easy. pet3rman (206), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 1/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 11, 2007 Updated: Mar 15, 2007Pours clear with a hint of gold. Smells and tastes like champagne. Hint of sour apple but not much. I would choose it over the amber just because it isn’t as overwhelmingly sweet. Not a bad drink, but not beer in a sense. joebrew (608), Farewell Minny; Hello Puyallup, Washington, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 24, 2007 Slightly clear pour with hints of green. Nice sweet nose with hints of tart apple. This tastes like watered down dried apple with a very sweet flavor, but it dissapears quickely with a dry finish. Grandpa (325), Verona, New York, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Feb 16, 2007 A clear pour, with a pale green tinge. Lots of quickly dissapating bubbles along the side of the glass.It was dry, tart and lightly effervescent on the tongue. It was also light bodied and thin. Refreshing? Maybe. Satisfying? No. jlf278 (255), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Feb 7, 2007 Not bad at all, but inferior to Woodchuck Amber. This is too much like soda for me (too sugary). The palate feel is poor and watery, appearance is not good. Fortunately this delivers what it promises, though it is more juicy and less cidery than I expected. haggis03a3 (138), Piedmont, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 1, 2007 Light color, aroma, and taste. Aroma of tart apple with some sweetness. Tastes the same. Dry mouthfeel with a good amount of carbonation. Not much to it but it is refreshing and very drinkable. hayduke (1667), Eureka, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jan 18, 2007 Purchased from Northcoast Coop in Eureka, CA. 12 oz bottle. Poured a very light yellow with almost no head. Nose of apples. Flavor of apples with a crisp finish. Mouthfeel a bit fizzy. Actually nice to drink. Go figure. detroiter (958), Euphoria, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 15, 2007 An effervescent pour provides a bright and clear golden yellow liquid. No head, no lacing. A slight but steady stream of bubbles continues to rise for the duration. Aroma from a distance is apple jolly ranchers. Closer up, the aroma is tarter and more authentic.
A nice mellow semi-sweet apple combines with a dry champagne flavor. It tastes pretty fresh and natural. Smooth, well carbonated, not overly tart. Nowhere near comparable to a good French cider, but I admit that I am enjoying this.
