Bomber from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark and ruddy. Aroma is simple raspberry. Shudder at the sour impact. Med body. Flavor is sour raspberry - like it’s not ripe. With time it mellows. There’s no Jolly Rancher about this. It’s strong sour raspberry. Like a raspberry "kriek". Ok, a sour framboise. Quite astringent too. Good stuff. Tho very unexpected.

Berries add a very fruit/grape "juicy" quality to this cider, making it highly drinkable, very refreshing on a hot day. Bluish/purple on pour, sweet fruit nose, taste reminds me of grape juice. Hard to believe there’s alcohol in this....

Bomber from Beer Run. Pours a very pale yellow color with a thin fizzy head that quickly disappears. Aroma of sweet apples with faint apples skins. All sweet. The taste is dry apples, pear, some graininess, sweet finish and a faint tinny, almost tomato-y note. Thin-medium bodied. Meh.

On the dry side for an American cider. Some yeast, and moderate sweetness with apple.

Straight apple nose. Color is curiously absent, clear and virtually colorless save for a slight tinge of yellow. Bone dry with a slight acetic quality and little apple character. Most importantly, little flavor! Just because it is sold in 22oz. bottles, don’t believe for a minute this is "premium" quality cider. It is not. Dry, yes. Good, no.

Riduculously pale, it looks like water. Not much aroma, a little bit of apple. Tart and refreshing and note a ton of character but it hits a pocket of dry and refreshing that works in warm weather.

500ml bottle for $1.49...my arm was twisted. Hyper pale, like you poured out some soda essentially. Cleanish standard cider aroma. Inoffensive and ridiculously drinkable, I could drink liters of this stuff...but I’m rather inexperienced in the cider realm. I pounded the hell out of this one, because it didn’t seem like a subtle, slow sipper to me. A little thin in flavor, not much going on besides a steady sour green apple thing..which I can dig. In no way pysched up about it, but an enjoyable beverage.

Just a touch darker than clean water with barely a hint of head around the rim of the glass. Sugary, light apple, light tart aroma. Medium body with light carbonation. Flavor is much more tart than the aroma suggests. Light apple, too. Finish is quite tart and dry. Was hoping for more from this one.

Pours clear celadon into a shaker. No head whatsoever. Sweet green apple aromas. Thin and dry with sweet and sour apple front to back with a medium length apple finish. No sign of alcohol.

Bottle 22fl.oz.Clear light yellow colour with a small, frothy - fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate apple and pear. Flavour is moderate sweet and light light acidic with a average duration. Pretty disappointing cider ;O( Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat. [20111001]
