$3.99 can from Whole Foods. I despise having to buy 4/6 packs to try anything, so thanks. Lo-ball glass @home. Clear, superfine, pale gold. Stinky. Big whiff of sulfur/eggs on the pour. It settles down but doesn't quite go away. A soft corn cereal sweetness melts in between the farts. Something happened here. Taste is sharp, mildly sweet, a bit tropical, like fruit punch. Bitter apple core, ripe papaya, Cherry Lifesaver. Tastes backsweetened. I can taste a very boring, yeasty base behind everything. Wild cider doesn't taste like this. Thin, crispy, light, easy, light suftites, light acidity, more so tart, okay booze. Something off here, but it drinks good cold when you've had a few. Just blame it on the dog.

Can from 7-11 Brilliantly clear light gold in color with a good sized bubbly white head that quickly recedes. Huge sulfur on the nose when first opened luckily that mostly dissipated. Tart apples and some sulfur come through in the flavor. Light carbonation

Pours greenish gold into a shaker. No head whatsoever. Sour apple aromas. Tart with green apple skin front to back. Lasting funk finish.

Pours a nice clear pale straw from a can. Sweet McIntosh aroma and flavor, a little on the sweet side. Good cider.
