Very nice pink and light ruby coloured body with a thin, pale white and rose coloured head that fades very quickly as expected. Aroma of apples, tart cranberries,  sweet and sour candy with a light touch of vinegar and a mild breadiness near the end. Light-bodied; Strong sweet and soured cranberries dominate with a lot of apples, candy, residual sugars and even some dry floral notes towards the end, but the crisp, tart and enjoyable cranberries and fruits are the strongest. Aftertaste shows mostly the two fruits - cranberries and apples with some yeast noticeable and a dry floral quality, but not much aside from that. Overall, a nice sweet and slightly dry cider, complete with a great cranberry tartness and some yeast, too.  I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Trader Joe's in Alexandria (Old Town), Virginia on 28-November-2020 for US$1,50 sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-December-2020.

Woo! More store brand ticks! Is this new(ish)? $1.49 at my local TJs. Mojito glass @home. BB 11/02/22. Clear, rich, dark cranberry, lingering lace. Very mild aroma of dried cranberries & boxed baby apple juice. Ever so slightly medicinal. Taste is tart, lingering cranberry juice & soggy, browned, oxidized apples. Maybe some paper. Do store seconds become cider? Cranberries are good, it has bubbles, abv is quiet. Boring. Fine. $1.49.

$1.50 bottle, TJs. Ruby red to magenta, clear, dusting of a white head. Apple, cranberry, light soapy nose. Cranberry, apple, dust. Tart but not sour. Quite equal between the apple and the cranberry. Kinda nice.
