Perfectly clear pink and ruby coloured body with a very thin off-white head that fades incredibly fast. Aroma of very nice apples, funk, grass, cherries and a good dose of yeast - clean and dry for sure. Light-bodied; Nice dry and apple sweetness up front with a little bit of soured cherries and a touch of yeast and cinnamon at the end, but the soft fruit notes dominate in a good way - a touch of yeast comes through, but no alcohol notes at all. Aftertaste shows the apples (of course), but also some light lemons and citrus, a dose of tart cherries and some soft honey and sweetness towards the end that doesn't seem to originate from the apples> Overall, a nice and robust cider with a good balance of apples and cherries, but enough soft and dry elements that show some differences from a traditional or plain cider. Good to try and worth trying to find, especially if you like cherries! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 21-November-2018 for US$2,49 sampled at home in Washington on 30-April-2019.

Can from Covenhoven. Plastic pint glass pour at home. Clear, pale, watermelon-zapped body. Absolutely reeks of sulfur. Once it settles, ugly yeasties & plastic. Taste is ugly yeasties, covered up by cherries & some possibly okay bittersweet cider juice. Soda silky/stickiness. Foul. Needs time to breathe? Not waiting.

On tap at Citizen, pours a clear pale pink with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out gently tart cherries, with light acidity. Flavour is more pronounced on the cherries, with a nice rich depth to them. There is gentle sweetness and even gentler acidity. Solid stuff.

12 oz. can. Thanks to AdamC and Heather_B. Near crystal pink appearance. Bubbly head and carbonation. Aroma shows a weak cherry and mild apple juice. Flavor is very weak. Little tart cherry with a hint of apples. Crisp texture with no tartness. Sourness is not really here. I was expecting more from this cidery.
