A sweet cider with natural tree ripened fruit notes, a crisp sparkle and medium body.

500 ml. Aroma is apples, floral, beer-y. Pours a clear pale golden, almost blush hue with a ring of foam. Taste is sweet and tart with cider-y flavors. Notable that it's described as their sweetest cider, but it's not even as sweet as your typical widely distributed cider, like Angry Orchard's flagship for example. Alcohol noticeable. Soft carbonation. Pretty average for me.

500 mL bottle poured. Interesting sounding cider here, which is why it ended up in my shopping cart. Clear pear color pour. Sweet cream like aroma. I'd be surprised if this was really their sweetest cider offering. Semi sweet apple and soft vanilla. Not so much melon for me, but if I try to find it, it's there. Refreshing cider, and quite enjoyable.

Very slight golden with no head. Slightly sour apple, sweet melon, sugar, with a medium dry finish. Very nice. Sweet but dry enough to be refreshing.

Bottle from BevMo in Folsom, CA. Pours brassy gold. Nice, slightly sweetish, apple aroma. Near med body. Itβs sweet, but also slightly tart. Somewhat mouth puckering/astringent. Not sure about melon, but it is demonstrating fruit notes. Exceptionally drinkable for a non-farmhouse cider.

Bottle. Pours with a very pale hued body with a white head that fades to a ring. The ring lasts, reinforced by the carbonation rising up the sides of the glass. Some legs. Aromas are sweet and a bit sharp. Prunes, sweet, sharp esters. Medium sulfur, strong esters: notably isoamyl acetate. Grassy, lightly leather. Pear like, salt brine, pickling liquid. Some sort of vanilla or vanillin. Slightly sake like in its fruit and almost light umami presence. Flavors are sweet, not very balanced by acid or tannin. Sulfur. Dry apple. Kind of characterless. Sugary. Lacks complexity. It either need a lot more acid or a lot more tannin to balance the sweetness. There really is not a lot here. Clean, but not really good.
