The aroma is dominated by cherries. The flavor is sweet though maybe not as super sweet as Angry Orchard ciders often are. The dark cherries lead the flavor and are backed by apples and alcohol presence that seems rather obviously fortified. It’s not too bad, but could certainly be better.

Single from Ingles. Wonder why. Goblet @home. It isn't even pink. Mellow gold, sort of the color of white tea. Smell is strong & possibly reinforced maraschino cherry juice with watermelon & very faint apple must. Natural flavors on the label. Taste is an ugly blend of back-sweetened bitter-tart apples, dark cherries & cheap fermented malt, ala Woodchuck. It's been a minute, but I'll never forget that flavor. Cherries juice tastes legit, but the apple base they distill & dilute is so obviously potent, industrial & ugly. Back-sweetened because they had to, it's only softly tart & basic bitch sweet. Put the cherries in something good & charge more money for it, please. ...

12 Oz can, Joe Canal's, 10/30/22. Clear pour. Artificial cherry and apple. Candied sweetness. Reminds me of if you could drink the twin cherry candy, but somehow not as good? Confusingly bad...

From a can this stuff is a light orange tined clear pale. Sweeter apple smell, somewhat like unfermetned apple juice. Taste is alky fortified apple cider with some cherry backbone. Taste is a little sweet for hard cider, it seems to more like an alcko pop. A little difficult to take for the sweetness and it rather crude presentation of overlaid alky. Not sure about this one. Not very civilized, but I guess it does what it does. Would not buy again.
