Draught at Worden Hall, 8/19/17.
Light, hay-golden, bubbly, mostly clear.
Nose is light, apple-forward with fairly well-restrained adjuncts. Ginger is definitely noticeable but doesn't dominate, nor does it seem sugary or immensely fruit-forward (either apple or lemon). No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's very light, spritzy, soft, watery and full of light ginger and sweet, yellow apple notes. Apple sugars and ginger flavor linger on the finish. I don't know, it's light and fairly drinkable but probably a bit sweet and basic.

Crisp golden coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of spices, light grain, a good amount of allspice and canella and a touch of lemons, but all with a bright and pungent apple scent - perhaps more from the core or potent areas than many other ciders. Light-bodied; Pure apple flavour with a ton of spices, like a mulled cider in autumn-time with a ton of allspice, star anise and cloves and a touch of coriander seed freshness, but the apples are very nice here and very refreshing. Aftertaste is deep and pungent with a solid, yet spicey kick near the end - very nice throughout. Overall, a great cider with a full flavour, yet very smooth and easy-to-drink. Nice to sample and definitely recommended, especially when the temperature gets hot! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased a few minutes ago from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York sampled while my kids played at Father Demo’s Playground in Greenwich Village, New York on 10-June-2017 for US$2,50.
