Pour is a crystal clean yellow with no head. Aroma is of a decent cooked apple and sugar. Flavor is not real big on apples, it has more of a cinnamon spice to it. Finish is tooth hurting sweetness. Not enough apple in the flavor and like most American ciders this is way too sweet for me.

Bottle from Market Basket Crystal clear deep golden with a smattering of white bubbles that dissipate almost immediately. Brown sugar and apple on the nose with a hint of tart fruit that rounds it nicely. Sweet and tart apple with bits of brown sugary sweetness. Lingering sweet apple juice flavor. Quite quaffable, pretty tasty actually.

This is pretty tasty, a nice mix of sweet and sour. Refreshing but with a sweet finish.

Bottle. Apple juice/candy and light straw aroma. Golden yellow. Very sweet apple juice and mildly bitter hay flavor. Pleasant - not cloyingly sweet but up there.

bottle - This cider has an aroma of fresh apples and candy. It tastes pretty sweet to me. Many of the hard ciders described as "dry" don’t seem to be. I guess it’s not as sweet as the flagship Woodchuck though. That makes it better, IMO. Pretty good overall.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Frothy white head hugs rim. Apple aromas. Medium bodied with sweet Apple upfront turning to dry skin before the lasting very sweet Apple finish.

Excellent! Great mix of sweet/tart honeyed apple complexity; with a semisweet/lightly tart finish. Very smooth and balanced.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this cider poured a dark golden color with a medium sized foamy white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was very sweet and tangy with a strong apple presence. The flavor was very sweet and tangy with sugar and a strong apple presence. Long finish that turns a bit tart. Medium body. Very nice.
