Bright over ice. Americas first light cider. Refreshingly light. Invigorating and full-flavored. A clean and cool, brisk and modern cider with delicate undertones that is deliciously bright and refreshing and often served with a lemon slice for a long cold spritzer-style refreshment.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear, very pale gold with no head. Looks like white wine, almost clear. Aroma of green apple jolly ranchers, red apple peel, and a little honey. Light tart. Tastes like biting into a watered down green apple. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. Acutally, suprisingly good for a "light" cider.

Directly from a clear screw top 12 oz bottle. Very pale yellow. Pretty good smell, you know fruity apple somethin. Good first chug, sweeter and mild with plenty of sweetness. Goes down way too easy. Spritzer it is and I like spritzers. Sizzly fun with plenty of co2 bite. Friendly lovely kisses. Snappin thrillin sizzlin. Glad I picked this up. At $4, I almost did not. Finish? what finsh? you mean its all gone? Blast.

Moderately strong aroma of fresh and overripe apples. Hazy very pale yellow. Slightly dry, not excessively tart apple flavor. Crisp and refreshing.

"Super-Premium Quality" BO: 09810 Bottle. Gold-rimmed Ommegang stemware. No head, but lots of sparkles down below. Faint white gold color. Just beautiful in this glass. Caught a whiff of honeydew right as I popped the cap. Overall smell is melon & gummy bears. A little iffy. Taste is mostly dry, with fruity tones of pear, muted granny smiths, & lightly bitter lettuce. Finish shows a twinge of sweetness & decent acid before developing cottonmouth. Noticeable sulfites are minimal. Carbonation is very strong, & body coats about as much as ice water. Fits the occasion. Not as bland as other reviewers have suggested. Crispin isn’t rebadged Woodchuck. This also isn’t potent scrumpy. It’s crisp, dry, accessible, & pretty well made.

bottle - Pours pale yellow-green with a green apple aroma. The flavor is light, sweet, and watered down apple. I was afraid of the latter when I saw it was the "light" version but I was hoping for something better. It’s drinkable and refreshing, but nothing more.

Bottle. Pours with a pale, clear, yellow body and minimal head or lacing. Aroma is sweet, jolly ranchers, chalk and sticky honey. Cloying aroma. Not as cloying as it smells. A bit of sulfur. Watery flavor. Sort of a dry apple finish. Really not offensive as the Woodchucks (and other alcohopop ciders), but not good.
