bottle - Pours lightly hazy with a minimal, fast fading head. The aroma is full of tart apples with orange notes. It tastes of sweet apples with a surprisingly strong orange peel flavor. Tart. Citrusy. I’m not sure I’m crazy about the blend of flavors but it’s interesting and worth trying.

12 oz. bottle purchased @ Top Shelf Brews, Hampton, NH. Hazy yellow gold color. Nose has a wisp of yeast with tart apples. The yeast and orange peel does add a Belgian white feel to this cider. The finish is clean, crisp apple as you would expect. As far as Woodchuck goes I still like the fall cider better then this.

Bottle pour to shaker. This is my first hard cider, so I don’t really know what to compare it to. It looks like cider...but it doesn’t taste like the non-alcoholic apple ciders I have had. Tastes like apple, but it also has some of the characteristics of a Belgian witbier.

Another single from New Beer. Old chardonnay sort of color. Odd, yeasty, fruit punch/mixed Jolly Rancher & bubblegum aroma. Taste is a mish-mash of fruit juices. Apple, grape, pineapple, banana, pear, ...bubblegum? Seems like the yeast had a bit too much fun. Honestly tastes like some odd children’s juice box. Really too weird for for anyone remotely sober. Hidden alcohol. Lighter then usual carbonation. An extra few kilos of table sugar. Paste & continued confusion on the few draws I could manage to swallow. Top 20 cider?! You’re all high. I need a beer.
