Flight at Tapas & Beers, San Diego, CA, USA. Pours veeery pale, looking almost like water. No foam. Aroma is delicate of apples. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is medium sweet. Final is average.

355ml bottle, drank at my daughters on 9th December 2021. She'd been on a long weekend break in the Julian area and brought back a four pack of this, saving one bottle for when I'd get over from the UK. Almost clear, like water in appearance, light silver maybe, no head. Pretty sweet apple aroma and taste, it was fine!

Nice dry cider. Balanced light sweet/tart apples: with light earth/spice. Dry finish; slight lingering acidity. Very crisp/smooth/drinkable

Alright, in an effort to appease my cider cohorts, I shall say something about this.
The appearance was a hazy golden burnt orange to yellow color with a fast rising carbonation escaping towards the dieing head. Wait a minute, what head, as it’s bubbly and quickly dieing.
The smell had a light sweet apple with a fairly decent sweet hay to honey weirdness (sorry, there’s something different than most ciders I’ve had that allows something different in this one).
The taste was mainly sweet but still had a light weird hay - like / maybe grassy sweetish sort of sugary - ness going on.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly sharp carbonation running about it. Sessionable, hmmmm...not really.
Overall, decent for a cider, nice to try but nothing to really go back to.

Bomber from Beer Run. Pours a very pale yellow color with a thin fizzy head that quickly disappears. Aroma of sweet apples with faint apples skins. All sweet. The taste is dry apples, pear, some graininess, sweet finish and a faint tinny, almost tomato-y note. Thin-medium bodied. Meh.

On the dry side for an American cider. Some yeast, and moderate sweetness with apple.

Straight apple nose. Color is curiously absent, clear and virtually colorless save for a slight tinge of yellow. Bone dry with a slight acetic quality and little apple character. Most importantly, little flavor! Just because it is sold in 22oz. bottles, don’t believe for a minute this is "premium" quality cider. It is not. Dry, yes. Good, no.

Riduculously pale, it looks like water. Not much aroma, a little bit of apple. Tart and refreshing and note a ton of character but it hits a pocket of dry and refreshing that works in warm weather.

500ml bottle for $1.49...my arm was twisted. Hyper pale, like you poured out some soda essentially. Cleanish standard cider aroma. Inoffensive and ridiculously drinkable, I could drink liters of this stuff...but I’m rather inexperienced in the cider realm. I pounded the hell out of this one, because it didn’t seem like a subtle, slow sipper to me. A little thin in flavor, not much going on besides a steady sour green apple thing..which I can dig. In no way pysched up about it, but an enjoyable beverage.
