Backlog. Pours cloudy pale yellow. Apple aroma is kind of tart smelling. There’s a sweet, fairly good apple flavor. Some tartness.

5.1 oz baby can. Smells like apples, by golly! Has a vague sulfury match head type note, too. A bit floral. Pours hazy golden with a fleeting white head. Taste is sweet and tart, finishing dry. Basic, but it tastes good.

5.1 oz. sampler can. Pours a cloudy apple sauce color with a tiny white head that quickly vanished. No lacing. Dry apple aroma. Lightly sweet apple flavor followed by a fairly dry and tart finish. Pretty middle of the road cider. 6.0% ABV is well hidden.

Clear bottle, yeast on bottom. Hey, these guys are ripping me off an ounce! Cloudy light pale. Smells like good apple cider. Tastes like decent apple cider too. Goes down very easy, seems to have a bit of unfermented sugar in there. Yes, has a good apple taste without any of the ill effects of typical dry apple cider. Bubbly from the start, cutting on the palate. Swish bottle gets dregs off the bottom and swirls into the glass. Must admit, much better than my own homemade apple cider. Not bad, as good as the other strongows? I thionk so! I like these 'bows and they border between the fru-fru-fru-cider of woodchuck but they have the civilized attitude of old western GB. OK stassen but not as good as bulmers.

5.1 ounce can. Pours a clear golden hue with a small white head. A big sweet apple juice nose. Sweeter than the regular one, some crisp green apples, but some tartness climbs in. Pretty drinkable.

Sampled from a clear bottle this cider poured a cloudy golden-apricot color with a small foamy white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was sweet sugar, pear and apple soda. The flavor was apple, pear, yeasty and surprisingly rich. Medium length finish. Medium body.
