This was a truly great cider. Pours a golden amber. Yeast and apples on the nose. Flavor is of fresh apples with a nice dry woody finish where the oak really shines through. Very drinkable. Awesome cider, very unique and definitely worth a try

’’12 oz green stubby bottle with a twist off cap. Nice apply aroma, very attractive without being overwhelming. Looks like a pale lager. Yummy initial taste bud sensations. but I like ciders so becareful how you interpret this rating. Can’t really taste any oak aging in there. Comes on like any other good woodchuck cider, fun and delicious. Very like-able. Good tingly carbonation. Could easily drink a sixer of these in a session. Goes down way too easy. Lovely fermented bubbly drink. Finish is a tad dry and I like that, does not appear to fruity. Overall a good pleasant brew. s8L2F3T9O18’’

12 oz bottle. Pours a golden yellow with some orangish hues. There is no head to speak of (as typical for ciders) just a small white ring. Aroma is very pleasant, with notes of candied apples, and a slight touch of wood. Flavor is very ’’full’’. There is the sweet apple flavor you expect with a macro cider but it is muted. There is a really nice oak flavor that jumps in and out as it goes across your tongue. There is a bit of champagniness to it too. The nice thing is that it’s not overly carbonated. This is one of the best ciders I have ever had. Very nice, especially from the Bud/Miller of ciders.

Nice-looking amber pour. Fresh, strong aroma of herbs and malt (strangely enough). This is a very flavorful cider. The oak is subtle and adds a little woody backbone to the lightly sweet cider. This is one of the best things I’ve had from Woodchuck, which is one of the best of the big American cideries.

Orange-red pour. Aroma is fruity and floral. Flavor of apple and wood. Dry sweet finish. The wood adds a lot to the regular Amber cider.

Poured a clear amber color with minimal head. The aroma and flavor were of...wait for it.....apples. Sweet flavor with a mild woody vanilla.

Copper color with a few bubbles forming a type of head. Aroma of dried apples and very light oak. Lots of oak flavor. Raw woodiness and some vanilla almost overwhelm the sweet apple.

Sweet apple aroma and flavor. Light brown. In addition to the apple, the aroma has vanilla which I assume is from the oak.
