Can. 4.9% ABV. Pours a crystal clear very light straw yellow color with a small white head and poor retention. No lacing. Dry apple aroma. Semi-sweet and pretty tart apple flavor with a dry finish. Too tart and dry for my liking. Top 50?? I think not.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark golden color with a small foamy off white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was musty and semi sweet with Sprite and a hint of apple. The flavor was semi sweet, tart and a bit tangy with apple peel and apple juice notes. Medium length finish. Medium body.

bottle, rated in June 2017 - Pleasant apple aroma. It has a tasty, full apple flavor that's sweet but not too sweet. Nice.

Poured from a bottle into a stang. My bottle says octorock semi-sweet hard cider and its got an abv of 4.9%, so I hope this is the right place. Barely any smell, but what nose it has is mild fruit perfume. The eye is fine bubbling streams to the top of a pale brew. Pretty good bubbly flavor that really starts to grow on you. Very refreshing and well behaved. A little warming sensation, just a tad. Easy, lacks any of those negative attitudes so prevalent in my home cider. Smoother easy bubbling fruity stuff, almost yummy.
