12 oz. bottle from a sampler. Clear pale yellow with lots of lively carbonation. Very fruity apple aroma, like a cross between granny smith apples and green apple jolly ranchers. Sweet up front with a tart finish.

Pours clear pale yellow with a slight green tint. Aroma of bittersweet apples. It tastes like tart apple juice. Light body with average carbonation and aslightly dry finish. Decent.

Weak aroma. Very pale champagne color, clear. Rather onion-like. Kind of weird but not bad. Alcohol content is not noticeable and I’ve never been able to get up to 5% with Granny Smiths. This is probably the weakest and worst of the Woodchucks.

Something of a light sauvignon blanc aroma. The color is essentially that of water. A few sparkles, but I didn’t see any head. Thin in body. Light carbonation that goes a bit creamy. Tart apple, but I agree with fakepurseninja. It’s very like a low alcohol white wine in some respects. There is some sweetness, not much, and the finish leaves the impression of green apple skins. Really refreshing. Very impressive.

Pale yellow but barely any color at all. Smells like sweet granny smith apples. No visible bubbles in my steeler stein. Not too sweet but sweeter than most beers. Medium carbonation and an ever so slight bitterness on the finish. Probably should not be rated with beers.

bottle - Pours clear and straw colored with a minimal head. The aroma is of sour apples. The flavor is sweet, too sweet, but not as overdone as the amber. The tartness of Granny Smith apples is quite apparent. This is so-so. I’d drink it again and it is kind of refreshing. It’s not something worth seeking out though.

Bottle. Sour apple and vinegar aroma. Very pale yellow-green color. Lightly sweet apple cider flavor - slightly tart but not as much as I would have expected given the Granny Smith content. Tastes much better than it smells. Like a sweet English cider.

Very nice drink, but can only consume once in a while. Very nice apple taste, and very sweet and at the same time very tart. Can’t drink more than one at a time.

Bottle Pours a almost colorless white/yellow with no...and I mean no head or lacing (ofcourse) Some tart aple aroma. Faint tart apple flavors with the bitter apple peal like note coming on later. Watery, thin, soft carbonation. Ive had a few good fruit beers/ciders....this isn’t one of them.
