Draught at Darby's Gastown, Vancouver, listed 6.5% ABV
Pink grapefruit colour. Smells like the Body Shop, it's very tart, with perfumey adjuncts.
Too little cider, too much adjunct, and not well blended either.

Beer #14 of my #7000 Beer Celebration - 7 on either side of the milestone. Super pink and violet coloured body with a thinnish, ultra-fast-dying head of pure white that covers up like a soda and vanishes. Aroma of raspberries, cranberries, light malt and then a ton of spices - allspice, coriander seed, cloves, canella and a dash of star anise throughout - quite pungent and showing almost like a thanksgiving drink more than anything else, in a great way. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong alcohol and carbonation throughout with the yeast that shows up and remains strong and pungent, but the spices that are by far the strongest in a good way, but shows the anise, allspice and canella flavours more than the dry apple qualities. Aftertaste shows some sourness and tart flavours from the all fruits and apples with a vinegar and vinous note toward the end, but in a good way to offset the spices and rich flavours earlier on. Overall, perhaps on of the best 'ciders' I've ever had - tons of character, bunches of complexity with the flavours and a rich, yet dry profile, a smooth yet deep finish and a tart and tangy drink with a lot of spices - nice and highly recommended. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 05-May-2018 for US$3,32 sampled at my house in Washington on 29-August-2018.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2018, pours a cloudy bright pink with no head. Aroma brings out bright red berries, with light funk. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of red berries, a bit of salt, and light acidity. Don't really get any apples or funk. Interesting.

Can from New Beer Distributors. Tulip pour. Lady wanted something to match the Golden Globe red carpet on TV. Opaque maraschino cherry red body. Pink hissing head. Smell is softly dominated by rose & rosemary (label says lavender), with a saline, floral, clay, lightly funky backdrop. Taste is big on cherry, minoring in rose/florals. A mellow sour, it starts bitter & tart, but turns fruity sweet. All the while keeping the yeasty funk in check. Bitter apples, but I can at least taste them. Nearly flat, juicy & wet. Very mellow. In short: Natural Hi-C cocktail.
