Pours hazy orange with little to no head. Aroma of abrasive apples. Taste has pineapple notes, sweet and acerbic apples. Palate has typical cider elements, lingering sour citrus. Eh.

Super hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish off-white coloured head that fades like soda. Aroma of apples, light alcohol, some dry malt (i know there isn't any), a dose of hay and grass and of course the big ones - apples and a lot of bittering grapefruits. Light-bodied: Strong grapefruit bite at first, but there is a good amount of sweetness and honey noticeable as well, with so§e very subdued apple and yeast profile and only a dash of bitterness or funk noticeable - the fruit hits nicely and goes down smoothly, throughout. Aftertaste shows the grapefruit front and centre with a lot of bitterness from that, but balanced nicely by a good deal of sweetness and support from the relatively insignificant apple flavours and punch. Overall, a fairly underwhelming Cider that seemed much to pungent and bitter in the nose from the fruits, but tasted and finished very nicely, with the grapefruit playing a central and very nice role, almost more than the apples. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 27-September-2019 for US$2,49 sampled a few minutes later.

Buck seventy-nine can from Total Wine, South Richmond. Pours murky peach with lots of carbonation but no head. Aroma is citrus and apple, somewhat sweet but not candied. Flavor is grapefruit and apple, also somewhat sweet but not overly. Has a nice flavor.
