12oz can from Boise Co-op. Rosé colored pour, some bubbles on pour, which then disappear. Blood orange and cranberry are about equal in the aroma. Taste follows with more of the blood orange and cranberries, giving it a nice wintery profile. Apples detectable underneath make for a tasty, refreshing drink.

Single from 604. Pint glass @home. Clear, faintly peachy gold pour. Strong, lathery head. Sharp berry but not cranberry. Orange oil, heavy chem, champagne yeast nose. Orange-cran-apple juice box. Surprising apple skin. Floral chem, berry-soda finish. Soda feels. Didn't make me gag.

Sample at 101BK Westerville during the "Mid Week Beer Geek Features" event on 12/20/2017. Clear reddish-pink color with a thin pinkish-white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lace. Aroma of cranberry, spice and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of cranberry, citrus and mild spice. The finish is mildly tart with a cranberry aftertaste. Decent overall.

can - Pinkish color. Smells of apples and cranberries. It has a sweet flavor up front with apples and cranberries and some tartness. Orange? I don't know. To me it's very subtle. Pretty good cider.

Bought this can thinking it was a black IPA or stout. Big surprize, it pours into a pretty pink bubbly drink. Slight smell of vinegar. Taste is rather up front, comes across a little alky cutting, reminds me a little of my homemade cider, and that's not a good thing. Flavor of somewhat rude apple. Perhaps I can feel the crannies but the oranges must be searched for. Could not drink 2 of these. Not bad overall, just a little difficult at times.

Sampled on draft this cider poured a bright pink-red with no head and no lacing. The aroma was perfume, windex, cherry, cranberry and egg white. The flavor was perfume, tart cranberry, dry, chemical and egg white. Medium length chemical and cranberry finish. Light bodied and fairly flat. Not good.

Can. Cranberry, apple, and hay aroma. Ruby red. Lightly sweet cranberry, apple juice, and dry hay flavor. Dry finish. Pleasant.

Awesome! Juicy blood orange/tart cranberry/crisp apples/peel. Tart/semidry/crisp carb finish. Light lingering acidity. Very refreshing!
