tap at Dash In 3/15/13 - This cider has a rich apple aroma and some sweetness up front with tart apple leading into a dry finish. Alcohol is noticeable in the flavor but just minimally. Light bodied. Pretty good.

Good easy drinkin hard cider. Fairly fermented out, not a whole lotta sugar. Hides its alky content well, you’d never know this is over 5%. Could kick your ass if yaer not careful.

Bottle. So, I lied when I said I wouldn’t rate any more Ace ciders, and I’m wishing I had kept my word. This one started out badly with a horrible rotten milk and honey aroma. How the hell did these folks manage to get apples and honey to smell like bad milk? The appearance was clear gold with no head, per usual for cider. It didn’t taste quite as bad as it smelled, but there was definitely something off with this one. Sweet lactic flavor, honey, and artificially tart windfall apple flavor -- pretty much on par with the rest of the Ace ciders I’ve tried. Light body, moderate carbonation. Honestly, this one is also taking a bit of a hit since I’ve been drinking some phenomenal McClure’s ciders lately.

Pours clear, bubbly gold with a small white head. Aroma is mostly honey, with a slight apple tang. Taste is honey, apple, ... a slightly caramel/peanut butter/ apple hint. Very rich and tasty.

Odd slightly musty aroma with a honey olfactory. Not as brown as described but certainly darker than most ciders. Very good taste with a honey backbone. This honey is not fermented out. Goes down real easy, fun and easy. Yes, a very friendly drink. Wasn’t sure I’d like the hney in there but this comes across rather enjoyable. Verey little if any detectable alky in this brew.
