Amber, the original cider, was first hand-filled in our two-car garage back in 1991, delivering a medium body, sweet red apple taste and golden hue.

Looks like a pale yellow american beer. Not a whole lotta aroma. Has some lacing initially but dissapears after poured. More sweet than the granny smith woodchuck cider. Nice carbonation bite on the finish. Has just a little odd apple peel linger. Probably should not be compared to beers. Very nice like a fruity champagne.

draft - I hadn’t had a cider on tap in a year or two, so I had to try it again. This one has very little aroma. What’s there is sweet, a hint of the cloyingly sweet taste to come. I like a cider once in awhile, but yeah, they really overdid the sweetness here. The apple taste is alright, but there are many better ciders out there.

(On tap) Clear, fully golden with a - rather unusual - creamy, white head that even leaves some laces. Discreet apple aroma. Very soft and smooth mouthfeel. Medium with a high degree of sweetness, vague accents of apples and other fruits. Somewhat perfumy Skittles accent. Lacks some acidity and edge, but very drinkable. 010406

Bottle. Tart candy apple aroma. Light amber color. Very sweet apple flavor with moderate carbonation.. Very sweet and hides alcohol well. Won’t be powerful enough for a hard core beer drinker but would be a good choice if your date doesn’t like beer.

A bit of a sour aroma, but this beer pours a very light golden color and is very clear. It has a thin white head that dissipates almost immediately. The taste is a tad too carbonated, but clearly has the light apple taste.

More caramel color gives an artificial light amber color, essentially no fizz. Weird off-apple chemically aroma. Unexpectedly, the full stolid sweet apple flavor is well balanced, with true rich apple flavor. Brown sugar? One of their best.

Golden in color. NO head at all. Some carbonation, but without even a hint of a head, this looks unappealing to me. Nice typical cider smell. Taste is the same... very cidery, and nice... for the first few sips. After awhile, it gets old, and I wanted a real beer after about a quarter of the glass. Not drinkable in large quantities. Have a small sampler glass, that's about it.

Ruby tinted brown colour with absolutely no head. Aroma of green granny smith apples, brown sugar and limes. Light-bodied; Very sweet, definately sour and reminiscent of apple cider. Aftertaste sweet and sout, but left nice. Overall, this drink is actually refreshing and fairly full tasting compared to Strongbow! I had this pint on draught at MacGregor's in Rochester, New York.

I don't really understand what qualifies this as a beer. It is a fermented fruit beverage. Anyway it still tastes pretty good. It is good in small doses, I can't see spending an evening drinking these.
