Almost pure white coloured body with a faint golden glow and no head at all of course, but ghostly white and super crisp - mellow. Aroma of very dry and crisp apples with some yeast, light sugars, a dash of lemons and some softer acidity with a light kick of spice notes, but relatively mild - this is just a dry apple scent, really. Light-bodied; Very crisp pure deep sweet apple flavour with a lot of pear and juice flavours along with a nice yeast bite showing a slight twang of acids and sour qualities, but this is actually relatively sweet and much more robust in terms of fructose than I was expecting, and much less dry and tart. Aftertaste really showcases the fresh and very sweet apples themselves without much interference - there is a light glimmer of spice notes that almost show pears, but really, a slightly tart, slightly dry apple flavour with a lot of natural sweetness. Overall, a very nice and crisp cider that shows good apples, a pleasant layer (albeit thin) of complexity from some spice, dry and soured notes, but really just a sweet cider, full of flavour, especially considering how mellow the look is! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 06-May-2020 for US$3,69 sampled at my house in Washington on 15-July-2020.

Four pack from that pricey place on Washington in BK that left a salty taste in my mouth. Rounded pint glass pour. Clear, pale, vibrant straw-colored brew. Smells of prickly flowers, melon, & a little lemon. Taste is of dry, yeasty juice, turning a little floral & band-aid as it swirls. Dominate yeasty follow through, that is just a bit tart. Sour(or even half-sour) it is not. Very mellow, a little cottonmouth, but not enough else to keep me interested. Half flat carbonation, a little suspect newspaper-y oxidation. ...I still prefer the bone dry.

From tap. Pours clearand golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, citrusy and slight peachy. Crisp apples, zesty and fruity, vague sulprhoish note. Dry and fruityfar finish.

Bottle brought by one of the ladies from Brooklyn cider house on the queens brewery trolley. Pour bubbly light gold. Nose is sweet mushy apple and tart green apples. Tastes of honey,green apple, pears, wood, and lots of residual sugar. Too sweet for my tastes.
