Can, popped the lid and it squirted foam foam all over the place! Pour is hazy pale; looks like hazy IPA. Lots of green chili pepper in the nose. First taste is clean apple cider followed up by lots of green chiles flavor. Interesting and refreshing. No real heat to speak of, just simple chile pepper flavor on top of apple cider. Yes, I'm liking this, it comes across as something totally unique and well balanced. Very good level of carbonation as well. Tartness begins to come thru in the middle. Goes down so easy a pleasant. Nice job there Austin's! One of the better ciders I've had in a while. Can was gone before I knew it! I'll gt a sixpack next time I see this on th shelf.
