Perfectly clear pink and rose coloured body with an ultra-fast-dying off-white head, just like most ciders have. Aroma of bitter yeast, a bread, apples and a tart dose of cranberries, but not much sweetness, just a stronger pungent yeastiness than normal. Light-bodied; Strong apple flavours dominate with a touch of spices (anise and allspice) coming through to couple with the tart fruit and the relatively strong apple flavours. Aftertaste shows a good balance of tart and sweet notes with the cranberries holding up well to the sweet apples, but the spicey flavours have since left and any additional complexity is pretty much gone. Overall,  a tart and dry cider that shows fairly nicely, but could use a bit more tart fruit coupled with the slightly stronger sweet apple notes. Good to sample, but there are probably some better cranberry ciders that hit the marks a bit better than this one, but this isn't a bad option at all. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 16-June-2020 for US$2,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 22-June-2020.

Bot from giant eagle. Just a clean sterile mild fruity smell. Quite mellow flavor, less sugary that I thought it would be. Pale color. Taste continues to be fruity without insult. Yes, I think beer brewers who brew cider are ahead of cider brewers who brew beer. JMHO. Now a little bit of that sweet alky thing begins to manifest itself into my gullet. Not bad overall, a way above average fruit cider fer sure. Not many if any ill attributes identified. I liked this, good example of a well done, not so sweet, fruity cider.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this cider poured a pale golden for with a small soapy white head that left no lacing. The aroma was sweet apple with a touch of cranberry and sugar. The flavor was tart and tangy apple with noticeable cranberry. Long tart apple and cranberry finish. Moderately full bodied and almost syrupy. Interesting.
