AROMA: Sweet with a strong scent of apple, followed by moderate scents of pumpkin and allspice. I wish the apple wasn't quite so prominent, but the pumpkin and allspice make a fair showing. NOTE: As the cider warms, the allspice really starts to take over.

APPEARANCE: Pours a clear, golden brown. It looks a little darker than regular apple juice, but that's the only discerning difference.

TASTE: Sweet with a fair amount of apple flavor, followed by moderate amounts of allspice and pumpkin. Honestly, I don't get any pumpkin until the very end, and even then it is fleeting. However, in that short time that the pumpkin exists, I can readily taste it without having to search for it.

MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied with a somewhat smooth texture. I would rate carbonation as below average.

OVERALL: I don't drink a lot of ciders, but when I do, I usually enjoy them a lot. However, this one kind of leaves me on the fence. I think the biggest issue for me is that the apple flavor is so predominant and the pumpkin flavor is so fleeting. Basically, I want more pumpkin! The rest of the cider's characteristics are fine. Although, as I'm getting to the end of this one, I am finding it to become a little too sweet as it warms. So my advice is to drink it cold, and don't dawdle!

Nice. Good sweet/tart apple complexity with light pumpkin/allspice notes. Medium sweet/slight acidity. Light carb/smooth finish.
