Rating #8700! Beautiful, deep purple and strong indigo coloured body with a very thin off-white head that fades fast and just leaves a tiny lace up top. but the super strong and perhaps seventy per cent opaque purple body is very nice! Aroma of apples, yeast, light tart fruits and a small dose of spiced pears, but the blackerries and any berry scents overall with a light dose of the apples, but more sweetness than anything else. Light-bodied; Strong apple and yeast flavours dominate with a big spiced pear and vanilla note with a ton of crisp and dry canella and allspice notes with a tiny bit of nutmeg and some blackberries and tarter notes towards the end. Aftertaste shows some of the yeast and bready notes with a light dose of grass and floral notes with some syrup and honey flavours as well without much tartness and robust qualities. Overall, a nice and dry cider with a ton of sweetness, but mostly from honey and syrup with a light spice note but no real tart qualities nor anything from blackberries. Overall, a pretty nice and enjoyable fruity, spicey and robust cider with a beautiful look and a smooth complexity at the end from the yeast and bread moreso than the tartness or any berry flavours. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 20-August-2020 for US$2,99 sampled at my house here in Washington, a few blocks away, on 21-January-2021 on the first full day of the Biden administration.

Purple pour. Sweet taste with blackberry palate. Very faint apple taste. Nice color, nice palate, and very enjoyable
