Can @ Lost Valley Cider; mason jar. Clear, fizzy, place gold. 7up & basic apple nose. Dusty candy sweet initially. Lots of malic tartness, touch of chemical burn, decent skin tannins, dessert apples, not a ton of specific flavor. Soda finish. Forgettable.

So this geist spirit thing is riding the wave all the way till it crashes and then it will end. Brand new brews with different names but many are re-pops and others are just rebranded, so many of the same thing, so many different names. It pours from a $1 can like a pale lager with no head. Not many bubblies visibly but there is a good amount of co2 on the palate. You know, this is a little drier and much less sweet than I thought it would be. I appreciate it aint one of those unfermented other domestic sugar bombs that come across way too sweet. This stuff remains a decent american cider with just a tad of apple and the rest seems to be good-fermented wisdom. Kindah approaches the dryness of those real ciders from the old country. Yes, more pleasant and less alarming than a cider soda pop. The nose on this is mellow as well, nice mild fruity apple perfume olfactory of slight apple nose. Not bad, easier to drink than expected, HaH, after I complained too. That's I get for commenting before the session. One of the better unflavored ciders I've had in a while.

$3.99 pint can, TWG. Pale gold with a small white head. Nose is heavy apple, ripe, juicy. Apple skin and juice, dust, lemon juice. Tangy, dry. Not bad.

This has a nice ripe apple aroma. Flavor is sweet apples, surprisingly a bit sugary tasting though it’s not overly sweet. Refreshing and light.
