Off the clearance rack for a buck. Appearance is bubbly water with a yellow tint. Nose is clean unfettered hard apple cider. First taste is also clean fresh apple cider, no ill effects on the tongue. Yes a little dry, but with a small amount of sweetness as well. Good level of carbonation. Smooth but has a slight processed feel to it. Also, could use a bit more tartness. Not bad overall and quite friendly. I like the fact that the sweetness is subdued, unlike many other soda pop domestic woodchuck genre ciders. Level 3 cutting carbonation throughout the ride. Yep, pretty good session.
