Sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers Shawn! Clear golden colour, white foam head that dissipates away and aroma of apple, pumpkin flesh, vegetal. Taste is sweet, caramel & vanilla, apple, creamy pumpkin soup notes, and sugary molasses. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, sweetness at the finish. Interesting, quite drinkable.

Smells of ripe apples, autumn spices, and pumpkin. The flavor is sweet with apples, spice, and roast pumpkin. Yep. It is very autumny. This is a really good cider.

Can with black lid. Pretty cheap. Clear very light pale eye. Nice visible co2. Smell is standard apple cider. Good co2 on the uptake as well, has a nice fine sizzle to it initially. Taste is rather laid back and its actually lacking many ill tempered cider effects. Drinks easy, quite sweet and a little tart. Nice smooth middle, hides its 6+ alky well. Crisp towards the end. From the can I was expecting some kind of spiced pumpkin mess, but this stuff is alright.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 11/24/19. Clear gold, thin fizzy white head, decent retention. Aroma of dry vinous apples, cinnamon, honey. Taste is sweet apple, pumpkin, brown sugar, and a dry finish. Medium bodied, well balanced.

Sampled on draft at Tapped this cider poured a bright yellow-gold color with a large foamy white head that faded and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was apple juice and a bit of mustiness. The flavor was tangy and sweet apple juice and was a bit tart. Long apple juice finish. Light and fizzy mouthfeel. Decent.
