Hazy gold pour. Thin foamy head around the rim. Sweet flavor of apple with mango and papaya notes. Lovely cider.

$2.50 can at giant eagle, the large bird of prey. Yes, the aroma of canned fruit cocktail. Eye is hazy light pale. First taste is a little unsettling; some rubber, boozy and warming. Yes, you ain't hiding the alky here, it seems more like its fortified with alky instead of straight up fermented from sugar. But hey, what do I know. Not sure about the tropical thing either, not really getting any tropical fruit in this alky bomb. Some co2 but could use more. In the middle I think I'm getting some plastic flavors. Too sweet, lots of unfermented sugar in this as well. More alky warming sensations on the finish. Overall, this is a little unpleasant and probably there should have been brewer tasting before they released it. It almost feels like one of those fortified sugary soda pop malt beverage brews. Whew.

Aroma of overbearingly sweet apple juice. Taste has loads of fruit juices, mango, apple, pineapple, boozy. Palate has sour fruity notes, loads of sugar, booze. Eh.
