12 oz. Aroma is watermelon, apples--core and all--sulfur, bready. Pours a hazy apricot hue with an immediately collapsing head. Taste is moderately tart and pretty sweet with apple and watermelon flavor. It almost has an overripe, nearly moldy fruit taste.

Crazy, deep hazy pink, bronzed coloured body, but a beautiful glow of a pure guava (fruit) coloured body - crazy and very nice, all without any head of course, but that's expected. Aroma of apples, light tart fruits (no watermelon here in the nose) with a good hit of flowers and a dry scent as well, but fairly apple-y and very strong for a cider. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong apple and watermeloney flavour with some tart notes, a lot of sweetness with a good rich guava and papaya flavour with some melons as well that hits the notes just right. Aftertaste shows some softer sugars with a light dose of apples, but even more guava, papaya and tropical fruit notes with a lot of sweetness, and surprisingly good body here - very nice, but (not so sadly for me), no watermelon notes. Overall, a strong, fruity, dry and crisp cider with a great fruity characteristic that hits nicely and lasts quite a while, while showing the right flavours throughout as well as a good body, especially for the style. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Giant in Alexandria (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 15-April-2021 for US$1,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Columbia, Maryland on 20-July-2021.

Watermelon adds an interesting twist to the crisp apple cider flavor. Kind of reminds me of a sweeter version of watermelon gose. Other fruits would make better ciders. Okay but not great.

Can from Covenhoven. Couple instances between pint & Duvel glasses at home. First thought, hey this didn't come out pink. Probably a good thing. Though there are some chunks o the first pour. Cloudy gold with a lingering ring of foam. Smells is a little indifferent. Sugar & maybe some sort of melon, maybe. Taste is candied watermelon, with a Woodchuck-like aftertaste that is sort of like added distillate & sugars. Malic acid tartness. Watermelon juice here, cider is dirty. Crispy, slightly thick feel. Sulfite headache. Not good. Swore I've rated this brand before & knew better.

On tap at Cassidy’s. Pours a cloudy orange yellow with small white head. The aroma is strong watermelon seed. Thin body, strong watermelon, crushable, very good.

This cider doesn't have a strong smell at opening. After taking the first sip, the flavor of watermelon is faint, but a fruit taste is still present. This cider is sweet and full of flavor. When the cider hits your mouth, it's a bubbly and happy feel. 😄
