Relatively cheap 12 pack direct from Shacksbury. Lowball glass @home. Clear, amber gold. Color is darker than I expected. Bit of a candied pineapple whiff off the top. Sweet juice box apple. Taste is bitter apple, then green apple candy tartness, with a lingering tropical essence alongside that initial bitterness. Maybe a hint of vanilla if it gets warm. Sulfites. Might be in my head. I saw natural flavors listed & now I'm getting all these ideas. I reached out & asked. Will edit when I hear back. Moderate carbonation, not completely dry, touch of yeastiness, feels stronger than the listed 4.2%. Meh. I will admit that a dry, low abv cider that's actually good, seems difficult to make from the outside looking in.
