Panda courtesy of SHIG, cheers Shawn! Hazy pale yellow colour, foamy white head and aroma of tinned peach, fruit, blueberry hint. Taste is sweet, peachy, fruity, with alittle blueberry, and slight tartness. Medium bodied, light carbonation, sweet peach flavoured finish. Quite OK.

1$ can off the bargain shelf. Pour is clear pale, no head. Nose is striking apple apricot, permeating. Quite interesting first taste, yes lots of apricot backed by sweeter apple cider. good level of co2. Goes down very easy, Can't tell there's much alky in this. Easy peezy. Quick ending. Above average domestic fruit cider. Finish leaves you wanting more of this soda pop like cider.

From a 1$ can off the clearance shelf. Pour is crystal clear very very light pale. Nose is simple fermented apple, no sweetness detected on the olfactory. Yes, as advertised, the first taste reveals a very dry cider. So nice to get this kind of cider domestically. Its like the real stuff from the old country. I'm so used to getting those sweet woodchuck style cider bombs. I'm really enjoying the attitude of this. Very good level of carbonation makes this very refreshing. Medium low apple tartness in there, i like that. You know, this brew makes me reminisce about the homemade dry stuff I used to make, decades ago. Finish lacks any ill effects. Very good stuff there, hamburg! Big thanks!

Can. Clear pale, very very light pale. Nose is quite weird, almost rotten apples! Taste is initially very tart on top of apples and it tastes much better than it smells. But, I don't like this tartness, it has the feel of chemicals added to make it tart rather than straight up from tart fruity apples. Mind you, its not bad, just the odd nose and forced rigid tartness. I really like tart brews but this on is a little bit of a turn off, its like hamburg is trying too hard. They probably should have done a survey across employees before they made a big batch of this stuff. Its like they took their regular blueberry peach and dumped a souring agent into it.

Was curious about this because I liked the original quite a bit, not sure why they updated it. Pour is very light pale, almost as clear as water. Nice apple cider nose with a touch of apple peel on the olfactory. some sweetness on a mildly tart taste. Goodly level of co2 in this. Goes down fairly easy, no real ill effects. Maybe I'm getting some cinnamon in there and perhaps that is the augmentation on this new version. Not bad overall. Good finish for a cider, does not possess any of those ill hard cider attributes I used to find in my homemade stuff.

Can. Clear very light pale, no hint of blueberry nor peach color. Barely any nose, what is there is a very mild fruit perfume, if you hunt for it. Yes, getting some peach on the initial uptake, but berry? Where is that? Just asking. Pretty good level of co2. No real fruit in here, just flavorings, says so right on the can. Not bad, taste is OK, but this is just another flavored apple cider in the woodchuck vein.

Can as pictured. Very pretty & real mild strawberry aroma. Clear pale with a hint of pink color. Apple cider flavor with just a tad of strawberry hiding in the background. Rather boozy in the middle. Clement warming sensation down the throat. Good level of CO2. Slight tartness on the finish. Ends with a forgiving processed feel of apple peels. Not bad.
