My clear bottle does not say 'ale'. It just says hard apple black cherry so I'm guessing this is the correct place for this soda pop rating? Just asking. Color is basically pale with perhaps a slight orange tint? You know, like Biden after a little artificial tanning? Hehehehh. And they call Trump the orange man, yer kidding, right? Again, just asking. Maybe I get a little berry fruit on the nose, and its not quite artificial. But hey, the big blast flavor of cherry is certainly on the first big gulp. Decent level of co2 but could use more. Can't really locate the apple or cider in this bomb. In the middle I'm still enjoying this soda pop brew, yes it hides the alky quite well. No bitterness or rude ale character, not sure how this stuff is considered an ale. Must be really refined or processed er sumthin. Just asking. Got this bottle off the clearance rak for less than a buck, thot I'd give it a try for a tick. You got it.

Food Lion bottle. Golden, dusting of a head. Aroma is candied black cherry, possibly black cherry Faygo or some sort. Flavor is cherry kool-aid, sugar, very artificial. Was not expecting much, so I'm not disappointed.
