Bottle drunk 4/8/17.
Clear, soft apricot-peach colored body shows a brisk carbonation and obvious filtration.
Smells musty, even doughy at times with spongecake and vanilla-like sweetness and spicy phenols mixing with very minimal tannin. This smells exactly like every other mass-produced, underattenuated, mushy, unbalanced, sugary, fake cider on the market.
The flavor is certainly not dry and the beer is, of course, artificially carbonated with peppery carbonation, no body and nothing interesting whatsoever going on. Just more terrible crap.

A new year. Time to clear out the fridge & make way for many more takeout boxes. Bottle. Pint glass pour. Clear, MGD gold body. Sloshing it around, it looks a little syrupy(or just flat). Smell is tannic, macerated English apples. Not bad. Taste is yeasty, newspaper-y, twiggy & strong. A faint sweetness pops in & out too quickly to identify. Generic tartness washes over, followed by a lick of faded banana/clovey esters. The finish has a faded spice cabinet boquet of bitterness, but is mostly just boozy. Thin, cold, alcoholic. I remember this tasting better then just another alcohol delivery system, but maybe I was just thirsty.

Single bottle from Jewel/Osco, Downers Grove. Bit of a yeasty smell under the cap, followed by a light apple note. Pours a yellow apple juice color with some slight fizziness. Teste is… not really that dry. Compared to the sugar bombs that are American mega-cider, maybe. Still, not unpleasant. just a bit sugary, and matched by a slightly watery final mouthfeel.
