Basically it's slightly more tart than sweet cinnamon cider. I've never had an apple cinnamon donut that was tart. It's not bad but it's no donut.

Tap at mad mex. Hazy and pale. Sweet tart nose on the olfactory. Same with the taste buds. Good well behaved real cider. Sweet yes, but not unbalanced. Lacks any cloying attributes. Never comes across as artificial, pretty good domestic cider experience. Goes down easy.

Pours hazy pale yellow orange with a very small off white head. Aroma is of ripe apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The flavor is sweet with apples, cinnamon, and other spices. Fairly good.

Draft at Cheeky Monkey. Poured a really hazy bright dark yellow color with a small head. Big sugary cinnamon. Tastes like a cider donut! Really nice stuff.
