My first cider! I don't even know where to begin. It was from a bottle. Very sweet and tart without a strong alcohol taste. I'm going to start drinking more cider!

Weak apple aroma, stale. Like white grape juice, some visible carb. White foam around meniscus. Light smooth carb & watery body. Very tart and dry. White wine tannin feel & taste. Rough. Watery apple taste. Not that good.

Nice color again,ultra small head or what ever it was that faded so quickly.Nice sweet apple aroma,with a slight tart apple taste and a green apple hint to it.The after taste was quite decent mildly sweet and tart with the same green apple coming through.I guess when it comes to ciders i'm a little more partial to the Granny Smith variety They just seem to have that fresh off the tree taste IMO.

Barely has any color at all, just a tinge of yellow. Granny Smith tartness is detectable in small portions in the flavor and aroma, but not nearly as much as I'd expect. Tastes kind of like a Chardonnay with the aforementioned Jolly Rancher thrown in. I love Granny Smith apples, and I was expecting a lot more tartness/flavor.

Holy cow, this is light! This was the first cider I had in the U.S. after having become more familiar with the style in Britain, and you have to regard this as Bud Light to a real cider. Almost water in appearance with a tinge of yellow. Spritzer aroma, better flavor because the tartness puckers the mouth. It ends with a medicinal edge (like children's cough syrup, though only mildly) and I think the observation of "Jolly Ranchers" is spot on. Though it has a bit of "freshness" to the apple flavors (if you know what Granny Smiths taste like; my dad had 22 apple trees in our suburban back yard when I was growing up, so I'm pretty familiar with apple varieties), it lacks the complexity and challenging flavors of a higher alcohol, full bodied, cask cider. Though it may be decent to American palates, do not think that this is representative of the style as a whole.

Yumm. I just purchased a Woodchuck Cider variety pack so I'm indulging in the various flavors of cider. They are all very good, and the Granny Smith is no exception. It's mildly tart with a natural taste of green apple. Real pleasant, with a great aftertaste. 2nd best Woodchuck (after the Dark & Dry).

Almost clear yellow. Mildly tart aroma with a hint of watermelon and green apple Jolly Ranchers. Slightly sweet with a semi-dry white wine finish. Fizzy, artificial carbonation. Refreshing on a hot day but lacking character.
