I never knew apple cider could taste like wet cardboard, and rotting grass! Wow! Who knew!

Another mysterious treasure from the LCBO. Never seen this brand by Keith’s anywhere else in the country, at least the western side. Has a bright foamy head that disappears quickly, very bright white-yellow body with plenty of carbonation. Aroma is of sweet apples without any strong indications of fakeness. Flavour is a nice understated apple with a dry finish. There are many worse ciders out there, I’m pleasantly surprised. Decent.

A pale golden cider with a thick collapsing white head. In aroma, weird chemical apples with mineral gyprock qualities, unpleasant. In mouth, a weird mix of malt and apples, boiled veggies, bad.

Bottle: Poured a super pale yellow color cider with a small bubbly head with loads of bubbles – very strong carbonation. Aroma of sweet apple notes with candy-like notes clearly identifiable. Taste is also very artificial with loads of sweet notes of candy and light apple notes. Very light body with aggressive bubbly carbonation. I am not even sure this qualifies as cider as it is closer to soda.

Coors comes out with an ice-t beer. I guess Alexander Keith’s tries cider for this 2012 summer. Pours a light yellow colour with a white head and this one actually leaves a bit of lacing. Nice fresh green apples with pear notes. Medium-bodied and not as sweet as expected. Quite nice actually, with real apple/pears flavours and little sourness. I am actually quite stunned at this. I would drink this again this summer (just not in ice - like suggested).
