Ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a light orange and golden glow and almost no head at all during the pour, and after a few seconds, definitely no head, of course. Aroma of peaches, citrus, apples, alcohol and a lot of residual sugars from the fruits, but also from caster sugar and artificial peach candy. Light-bodied; Super peachy flavours dominate up front with a real peach bite, some slight sour and tart elements and a strong yeastie finish with some breadiness, but mostly a fairly straight-forward fruity cider with apples and definite peaches in the mix, in a good way. Aftertaste is crisp, clean, dry, very sweet and showing fresh peaches, but also some candy and deeper plum-type notes that give this a bit of range. Overall, a nice and robust cider with some nice flavours and a very clean and robust peach flavour that is real and fresh without a deep or astringent element from any artificial notes - another nice one, true to the name from Old Hill. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 08-October-2020 for US$2,75 sampled at my house here in Washington on 27-February-2021, a few blocks away.
