Draught at the Que Bar in Iowa City, IA. Clear golden color with a few bubbles on top. Typical apple aroma and flavor. On the sweeter side. Decent.

(draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Clear and pale yellow (almost white) with a ton of fizzy foam that disappears instantly. Aroma is very dry and tart with some apples and farmhouse notes. Flavor is quite tart with a bit of apples and a nice tart and dry finish. Not too bad.

Bottle. Not too bad. Nice sweet taste. Pretty good as ciders go. Best served very, very cold. Is that 75 characters yet?

Grabbed a 2.0 litre of this from a service station just out of York. Didn’t expect much, but it was the last cider available off-license that I hadn’t tried. Pours a clear, pinkish, apricot-gold with mild carbonation. Pear and honey define the aroma with a touch of powdered candi. Sweet in the mouth as the ABV would suggest. Tart and filled with candied citric acid goodness. Slightly cloying sweet apples come into play as it goes, atleast I hope it’s apples. Very light in body despite being too sweet and sticky, and it’s well charged in carbonation to the point of annoyance. An artificial, hangover inducing cider in its most open form. Luckily for the bottle I bought, I did manage to finish it. 2.0L, BB 31/12/06)

On tap, yellow coloured, without any head. Fruity sweet-sour light appel aroma. Average body. Finish is again sweet-sour with a clear, somewhat sharper appel touch. An average cider.

Draft @ Great Lost Bear in Portland - Poured a golden yellow in color with no carbonation. Aroma was not strong, but faint of apples. Flavor was not very strong either and the palate was kinda watery. Flavor was both sweet and tart... reminded me of Macintosh apples. An OK cider, but nothing special.

Golden amber in color with small white fast dissappating head. Sour sudsy apple smell. Apple tingly taste little on the bitter side.
