This cider has a pleasant apple aroma. It tastes of sweet apple, a little citrus and a touch of berries.. Hops? I mean it’s a decent cider but it’s hard to pick out all those ingredients.

Ok, so this is supposedly a can of hopped cider, I hope its not too hoppy, don't like hops. I like a cider, simply because its that, a cider, not hops for goodness sake. Hops should only be in beer, and even then sometimes I think that preservative doesn't even belong in beer! Just give me plain old beer or cider for a chance. Well, lets find out, here goes. It smells pretty good, a little perfume olfactory. Looks very sparkling with a typical clear light amber pale beer color. Taste? Yes, there are hops in there but its almost well balanced just such that it doesn't lose its cider appeal. Smoother and at times somewhat rude hopped cider appeal, could be better without the hops - no doubt. Hops tend to cut the sweet effects of unfermented apple sugar. Not bad but towards the end the hops make it come across rather soapy, you know, like raspberry hand soap. Not sure if I can pick up the grapefruit or not. Yes, finishes with an almost taken care of business sweet alky pop effects.

Delicious. Tart red/green/yellow apples/raspberry/seed/grapefruit/orange/lemon/citrus peel/herbal/floral/grass/pepper. Semidry/med carb. Lt acid/tangy/sticky drying. Refreshing. Great balanced fruit/hop complexity. Bit of dank notes from chinook/cascades.
