Bottle. Pours a clear "pear" color. Pear aroma, but it suggests a mild sake. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is pear, but it’s a lot more than just skin. It’s mildly sweet, and almost perfumey. Finishes clean. Pretty good for something that could be considered almost flavorless in a way. Ya can’t sip just once.

Bottle. Really tasty cider. Pours a light orange with a fizzy white head. Light pear aroma. Flavor is outrageously sweet, almost candy-like, and the pear backbone shines through. Quite juicy, the alcohol is almost imperceptible. If you’re into this kind of thing (sweetness, juiciness, etc.), you will love this cider.

Night cap. What a crappy nightcap. I faintly remember not thinking this was total shit a couple years back when I needed something besides Double Bastard & Corona to appease the guests at our family Super Bowl party. Pint glass pour. Seltzer fizz yields no head. Gold-plated color. Smells of mushy pears, banana, & some not so nice plastic phenols, almost turning wheat-ish. Though it is still a watered down concentrate, it’s not as thin as most 6-pack stuff. Golden Delicious though, probably not. Stiff carbonation. Store brand apple juice. Added malic acid even thought the label doesn’t state it. Some boxed juice qualities. Sulfites are obvious. Alcohol is negligible. Tastes like cheap & sweet, watered down Asti Spumante, though it has moderate tartness. Brewed in Florida...

Clear. Light apple aroma. Moderate carbonation and light apple flavor. The flavor is far too light.

Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Pours pale gold with a white head that doesn’t last. Aroma of tart apple. Taste is tart/sour green apple. Not really dry. Not sweet. Leaves an astringent apple skin impression. Thinking man’s cider. A good drink.

bottle - Pours very pale yellow. It has a mild aroma of green apples. The flavor is light apple that’s a touch tart. Really everything about this one is light. It’s not bad, but just doesn’t have much going for it either.

Short stubby bottle with a twist off cap. Nearly as clear as water but it does have a very slight yellow hue to it. Mild apples in the aroma. Not too sweet nor tart on the taste buds. Easy going and it leaves a slightly dull aftertaste on the back of the palate. At times it seems to almost have a vinous character about it. Not bad, could easily drink a few of these. 6% is not that prevalent in this drink, hides it rather well.

Sampler at Cardinal Liquors, Frankfort. The pourer kept describing this as a "champagne" cider. And actually he’s not too far off the mark (though I doubt it was actually bottle a la champaignoise). A light straw cider color. Smell is a little bit like a white Andre. A sweet fizzy taste, not too sweet, balanced by just a little apple tart.

Extremely baby foodish aroma of pears and apples. Color is almost as clear and colorless as water, with a slight lime green tint. Clean cider taste, good alcohol masking.
