Pours a very pale celadon into a shaker. No head whatsoever. Sweet granny smith aromas. Crisp, sour apple upfront turning sweet and back to very tart in the lasting Apple finish.

This cider certainly smells of fresh green apples, and the flavor is apply too, but almost to a fault and quite sweet. Lite and easy to drink.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a glass. Aroma is big apple, no lacing, extremely small white head that dissapates quickly. Taste is sweet apple with light tartness. Low carbonation, light body, and clear light pale yellow.

$1.50 tick from New Beer. Faintly golden seltzer pint glass pour. Inch of paste-like head that settles into some mildly respectable-looking scum. Smell is plastic, corn husk, sulfur, & sugary sour candy. Taste is old pasta, apple Blow Pop, cheap grain alcohol, lime, confection sugar, dusty wheat, sulfites, & some ugly Euro lager for that lingering mental imprint. This "less then 1% natural flavor" has me stumped. Yucky. Carbonation is strong, feel is just a touch thicker then average, but this is not at all quenching. Just barely sitting on the fence between ratable & disposable. Batch concentrate & mulch grade apples. I think "Dark & Dry" is the only Woodchuck I can actually tolerate.

Overall Impression: My personal favorite of the Woodchuck offerings (though I have always like Granny Smith's apples more then regular apples, so that may be the real reason). It's another alright cider, and has some decent taste it. If I'm craving a Cider for some strange reason this is usually the best one for me in your average (read: low selection) store.

Nearly clear pour with a whitish golden tint. No head. Very faint aroma is sweet and fruity. Flavor is lightly dry and tart with apple skins. Not overly fruity as I had expected. Lingering dryness and tart. Not bad, but again not very exciting.

Pours a very clear pale with a white head that vanishes if you blink (I guess I did). Aroma is weak with sugar, artificial apple, not much else. Taste is candy sugar, cotton candy, cardboard, corn syrup and fake apple. I really hate these fake apple ciders. Thin mouthfeel and fizzy. It is sad that even my crappiest homebrew cider was much better than this in every way.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and pale yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is mild sweet apple. Sweet apple flavour with a vague phenolic note. Fruity apple sweet finish. Quite simple and enjoyable.

Bottle from the sampler pack. Nice tart cider that tasted like I was biting into a granny smith apple. Very tart and dry finish. Very refreshing.
