Fairly hazy deep ruby and red coloured body with a crimson glow on top of a copper and deep bronze glow, all with an off-white head that fades very quickly. Aroma of strawberries, tart raspberries, apples, light yeast, bread, caster sugar and a dash of vinegar and acidity with a bitter pungency and a dash of alcohol. Light to Medium-bodied; Very strong strawberry flavours dominate with a lot of acidity and tart notes, but some sweetness from apples of course and a subtle herbal and grassy character, but this really is about the apples and especially the fresh, pungent strawberry flavours which are very nice and potent. Aftertaste shows the fresh fruit, sweetness, tart strawberries and a dash of acidity with some subtle bready and yeast notes, but this is very nice and surprisingly non-monolithic, in a great way. Overall, a very nice cider throughout and perhaps one of the best from Virginia that i've ever had - a great robust, very fresh strawberry flavours dominate throughout. Great to sample and a very nice option to grab if you like ciders or are trying to avoid glutens for some unknown reason. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 11-June-2020 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 05-November-2020.

$7.99 660ml bottle from Wine Warehouse. It appears I've gotten my first cold of the season, so what better way to handle it than drinking? Plus, it's fruit, so vitamins... Pours rec, dusting of a head. I can still smell - tart apple, tart strawberry. Flavor is very strawberry - starts out almost like jam, but then gets tart. Green apple backbone. Not overly tart but not sweet. Nice.
