12 oz can. Aroma shows spice, sweet apples, wood. Flavor follows with a little bit of whiskey, sour hints toward the finish. Spice, whiskey, tart apples. It is ok.

Canned 8/1/25, drunk 11/23/25, as pictured.
Smells sweet and bourbony. Kind of a weird bourbon though. Like an artificial one. Lots of honey, sugar, spice, etc...
Sweet, syrupy, juicy, good apple but so much spice and such. Getting pretty tired of giving these guys a pass. But, I guess this is just their mass market stuff? Like if I went to the brewery, there'd be phenomenal ciders? One hopes.

Single from City Swiggers. Pint glass @home. Nearly clear, just a touch of jelly, pale amber color; wispy thin froth. Smells of mellow whisky, brown sugar, candied ginger & Big Red-style cinnamon mulling up some sharp cider. Taste is bold orange & some vanilla upfront, gentle whiskey that comes off more like rum, tart-sharp apple middle, some warming candied ginger & red candy cinnamon on the tail. Crispy, not super carbed, acidic, pretty sweet, not too spiced, medium sulfites. There's some natural flavors in here, but all the spices are named, so it's probably apple essence in lieu of back-sweetening. Kinda good cider. Great seasonal.
