Four pack from Appalachian for like $3 over MSRP. No competition since Tasty closed. Pint glass @home. Pale gold, thin haze, soda head. Veggie, flowery, peppery, soapy, subtle vinegar nose. Interesting. Watery, gourd-melon-veggie combo sort of sweetness, soft florals, delicate powdered sugar sweetness, soft lemon, quite yeasty, super obvious dried fruit sulfites keeping the wilds at bay, it's nearly caked on. Dusty texture, medium to moderate carbonation, low tart, hidden acidity that is sorely needed. Not great.

Can labeled as a dry cider at 5.4% ABV. Very pale straw color. I was tempted by the dry cider name, but wow this was dry, as in so lacking in sweetness that it was very much in the apple flavored carbonated water realm. Not that I would mind too much, I drink a lot of fizzy water. Clean and simple apple flavors, no complexity, others note barnyard and cheese but there's nothing like that here, makes me wonder if its the same cider given the ABV discrepancy between my can and the listing here.In the end, in drank easy enough, and often the overly sweet ciders gross me out, so in general thumbs up here but I'd more like a tart/funky one over this.
