Straggler bottle from the bottom shelf of the beer fridge... Orange cooper color with a minimal head. Light cider notes with faint spice fill the nose. Rather mild. The taste is a mild cider, apple and light bits of yeast, followed by a little pumpkin spice. Mild overall, I’m pretty sure this was 1-2 years old when I got it so I would definitely give a fresh one a new review.

Sweet red delicious apple aroma, cinnamon hints. Clear copper, little carbonation. Sweet apple, something else, maybe pumpkin, but it tastes a bit like potato. Medium body, velvety. Not much in the way of spices, but maybe this wasn’t supposed to be spiced.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this cider poured a very dark caramel color with a small foamy white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was strong apple pie and nutmeg. The flavor was tart and tangy with notes of nutmeg, apple pie and clove. Medium length finish. Medium body. Ok.

From tap. Pours clear and golden deep amber to orange with a fully gone head. Aroma is smooth apples, crisp zesty. Sweet, fruity, almost sugairsh. Mild spiced to herbal. Thick sugarish and sweet finish.

12 oz bottle poured. Pours an apple juice color and appearance. Super sweet candy caramel apple aroma. Not really seeing a whole lot of pumpkin going on here, and was expecting/hoping for a nice, bolder pumpkin spice cider. Instead this one is over the top sweet with a syrupy sugar flavor throughout. Super sweet, red apple finish. Not a great cider in my opinion. The idea is fantastic, but I feel this one needs some work.

bottle - Pours copper colored and smells like apples more than anything with maybe a hint of pumpkin. The flavor is very sweet and is mostly apples up front. The pumpkin is more noticeable in the finish. Interesting. It’s certainly different and it isn’t bad, but once again Woodchuck should consider toning down the sweetness
