Bottle. This is a really good cider. Taste like a high quality apple cider, yes you can taste the oak barrel finish. Aroma is like an really good apple that one bites into. Color is a nice golden color like sunshine.

Draft at Epcot: Poured a dark coppery golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet, fresh cut apples. Taste is sugary, fermented mixed green and red apples. Tart and sweet together.

Sweet apple, vanilla, sugary aroma. Flavor has a layer of spice not present in the aroma. Light oak, too. The vanilla and sweet apple is there, as well. Not half bad.

12 oz. bottle purchased at Beer Store, Nashua. Clear gold color. Aroma is about standard of a Woodchuck, honey covered apples and a light earthy tone (but doesn’t scream oak)

The flavor is light honey with the honey more of a base flavor. The apple juice comes in right before a very mild oak in the finish. The sweetness comes through in a lighter body with a nice crisp character after the sip. All-in-All this was pleasant and easy to drink cider.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear orange color with no head, bubbly. A sweet apple nose. Big apple flavors, quite sweet, maybe some light oak. Very smooth and tasty. Drinkable as can be. Later more oak, but the tannins mix into what might be a larger oak presence. Good.

6-pack of this heavenly stuff. enjoyed @ room temp in stemware on day of purchase. This is a very clear golden brown with almost no head. I get menthol or mint on the nose. sweetened apple juice, chewing gum and some sort of pine cone earthy herbal note. Taste is okay. Certainly a tannic / oak presence here, kiwi and some other tropical fruits compliment the apple. cherry like finish. not bad.

golden color, some sediment head. very sweet nose, granny-smith and more of an ice cider nose. fresh and juicy, has some mineral like qualities and some ginger and other spices. good finish but maybe too sweet.

12 oz bottle, part of the World Market winter 9 bottle mix pack, courtesy of my in-laws. The pour is a clear copper golden with a minimal dirty white head. The aroma is apple fruit, oak, and some general woodiness. The taste is ordinary apple cider with some wood oak taste around the edge. As the cider warmed, the oak became much more American Chardonnay oak in character - butter sweet. The palate is medium to light bodied with the sweet finish. The big butter oak turned me off.

A dark amber cider with aroma of sweet apple jam, light apple acidity, pleasant. In mouth, a nice little cider with sweet apple juice character, faint woody notes, looses points for not tasting as you would expect. OK.
