Very hazy, beautiful golden coloured body with a very thin, off-white head that obviously fades fast and leaves nothing up top, but the hazy, golden in itself is great for a cider! Aroma of crisp, grassy and very pungent apple notes with a faint hit of soft herbal notes that cause a bit of dryness and some yeastie elements, but of course, this is about the apples. Light-bodied; Dry and very crisp apple flavours start with a nice soured and tart flavour profile that hits nicely at the end, with a great sweetness from honey and brown sugars near the end, and a faint dose of yeast and a little of the alcohol, too. Aftertaste is clean, very sweet, super apple-y and showing a good level of dryness to counter the sugars. Overall, a very nice - especially from the look - cider that hits almost exactly as you'd want, with some nice complexities from the dryness, subdued spice and sugars, but this is still easy-drinking and enjoyable! Great to sample and well worth trying if you like ciders and can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Wegman's [grocery] in Tyson's Corner (Vienna), Virginia on 29-October-2021 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 24-November-2021.

Can from 604 for about $3.50. Singles are hard to come by around here. Clear, cranberry brown brew, nice head. Smell is sugary cherry candy dipped apples, berries, mulch, touch of sulphur that drops after it warms. Taste is intense blackberry over tart cherry with a mellow apple backdrop. Not too acidic, some bitter & lingering cherry skins or pits, tartness is very malic. Juicy, good carbonation, whatever abv, drinks great cold. Nice find in a beach cooler. Better than B. Necktar's.

I have a bone to pick with this brand. I met the owner like twelve years ago at a fest. He had this glorious table of crab & cider apples to help educate the masses. He was planting an OG cider farm & would eventually have the good stuff. It takes several years for grafts to come to bear, we know this. Now the website talks about the farm like it's an apple museum, no mention of good things to come. He's still producing shit cider like this champagne yeast added sugar forced carbed crab. I'm drinking the twenty-fucking-fifth-anniversary can & the stuff isn't any better. 25 years. Where are the apples?! What a phony. Tallboy rating opportunity from 604. Stemless wine glass @home. Clear, pale gold, slow release white head. Smells like dry, acidic apples, champagne yeasties, unsweet pineapple, grain, sulfur. Taste is sharp apples, lemon, very minerally Prosecco, bitter veggies, dust. Forced carb is great, acid is great, tartnesss is malic, easy to drink. Boring but not terrible. Dammit.

Sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers Shawn! Clear golden colour, some short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of sweet apple, fruity & floral. Taste is apple, sweet, juicey, with some fleshy tartness, fruity notes and acidity. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry finish. Well balanced, nicely drinkable.

Very pale clear yellow color with typical apple cider aroma. Taste is a combination of apple cider and pineapple juice, slightly sweet and slightly dry. Nice.
