The aromas and flavors are sweet tart apples. Like the apples are just a little bit old but still true flavor.

Pale gold pour. It smells of ripe apples. The flavor is sweet and straightforward apples. It's easy drinking but too sweet. Decent. Sort of.

330ml bottle from Pilango Cider Vault, London. Orange golden colour, white foam head that dissipates away leaving some lacing and aroma of juicy sweet mellow apple. Taste is juicy apple, sweet, fleshy, sugary, sumner fruity with alittle apple skin and light tartness. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, sweet juicy finish. Quite OK.

Draft at Another Round, Downers Grove. Strong apple juice smell as soon as the glass appears. Cloudy gold color, with a bit of suds around the edge. This may be getting served a bit too cold, but all I’m getting is some very sweet apple juice. Basic apple cider taste. Though after it warms slightly, I have a bit of tartness at the end of each sip. Very slight carbonation. At least there’s no adjunct or sulfites apparent. Kind of one-dimensional, but let’s just suppose this is their mass-audience flagship.

Twist off bottle. Fairly fresh apple smell. Clear pale yellow. Lots of visible sparkling. First taste is much better than expected, lots of tingling sweetness. Goes down so easy, lovely stuff. Tasty, cutting personality, lots of hidden alky, I guess. Immediately makes me feel mellow like the time I tasted my first mountain dew in 1966. Yes, I’m really enjoying this, very much like soda pop apple ginger ale. Very nice lacing to the end. Yummy. I hope there’s no sugar added, but now I have my suspicions. I’m worried this may be a belly burner but bit yet.
