Tap. No head. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are apple juice, sugar and alcohol.

Champagne color on the pour. Some white carbonation that I suppose constituted a head. The aroma was slightly tart, vegetative and a little bit of bigfoot’s dick. The flavor tasted like my two year old dropped a green apple dum-dum in a glass of Bud light. Thin mouthfeel. Not good.

4.2% ABV. Another one of those beverages that they call cider that reads "less than 1% apple" on the label. Pours one of the most pale watery color I have seen on a apple made cider. No head. Aroma of sugar, apple jolly rancher candy, manure, high fructose corn syrup, sweet rotting garbage. Taste is vile, vinegar, sweeter, garbage. Mouthfeel is fizzy, thin and fake. This stuff is absolute *%#@!

Bottle was labeled "premium". Right. This was one of the most offensively smelling things my nose has experienced. Yellow pour. Smelled like a compost pile and hot garbage with a rotting apple in it. The aroma actually made me a bit nauseous. Flavor isn’t cloyingly sweet like some of the other "ciders", but no actual flavor besides a hint of apple and bitterness. Bman1113vr, why did you have to make me drink this.

This had a full head for a cider. Good carbonation. Very light color almost clear like water. There was a forced sour nose with a sour green apple front. This had a watery palate. Not a favorite when it comes to ciders.

A bit on the (artificially) sweet side for me. I used to drink this when I was younger,but not to my liking these days.

Very light pour. Not much flavor. Some light sweetness and citrus sourness, but finding the apple taste takes some digging. Refreshing, but not the best cider available.
