Can from the LCBO .
Pours, a clear yellow, with a small white head. Pretty standard. Aroma is freshly cut apples, with some soft, sweet mint, and the slightest twinge of basil. The mouth feel is clean, and crisp, with a lively carb. Herbal, semi sweet apples, tart, sweet mint, and a herbal, slightly licorice, basil finish. Very refreshing, quite nice.

Can from LCBO that pours a clean, light yellow colour with a fizzy white head that disappears quickly. Herbal nose with the mint that reminds me of herbal teas over the mild apple base. The basil does come out a little more in the mouth and again, the apples in the mix are light. Not much sweetness, as I do not see sugars added, and the mint and basil seem to cover the apples. This is quite a different cider, but good for those how like their ciders - not sweet, and on the dry side.

Brickworks Mint & Basil flavored cider 6.5% Crystal clear white wine looking pour with a mint & basil mojito like aroma. Light bodied with lots of mint then some basil before the cider wraps things up. Decent if you like mint/basil.

A pale yellow cider with aroma of tart apples, light acidity, light chalky notes, soapy. In mouth, a nice tart mix of mint, apple and basil, interesting but cloying in the end. On tap at Mill St Ottawa location.

Bottle: Poured alight yellow color cider with light carbonation. Aroma of mint and basil is more dominant the expected with some dry apple notes also noticeable. Interesting experiment of mixing flavours but not sure the drinkability is really high.
