12 ounce can bought as part of a delivery from Beers of America and drunk at home. Light apple aroma, maybe the smell of linen (a quilt?) and vegetable scraps. Sweet taste with a bt of tartness that never gets going. A full apple flavour, but not one that excites overmuch. Slightly tangy finish, that's nice. Light body with a hint of carbonation. A strong cider that belies its strength. Okay.

Can from American Candy & Liquor, Birmingham. New region tick for me. Gold with a white head and a light fizz. Dusty grains up front with a touch of sweetcorn. Improves towards the end with some honey and sweet lemon. Sub-par but drinkable.

Golden pur, with a very slight haze, a bubbly white head and a sweet honey-like aroma, with some floral notes. Light bodied, a touch of citrus, definite sweet honey and a little kick in the finish

12 ounce can purchased as part of a delivery from Beers of America and drunk at home. Light yellow gold and clear with a little bit of cisible carbonation. Odd aroma. A little bit of peach, some vanilla, some plastic. Odd taste, a little bit of artificial peach mixed with cheap white wine. Lots of carbonation which works with this. Passable but not great.

12 ounce can bought as part of a delivery from Beers of America. Drunk at home. Pours blonde/gold and clear, no head and very little visible carbonation. Modest aroma of sweet applesauce. Taste is tangy, sweet, a little bit of that wonderful cider 'bite' to it that ranks it higher than most basic ciders. Back of the throat apple tang in the finish. Hmmm. Not a lot to it really but it's fairly decent stuff all told. May not rush out to find another but this one was fine.

Can. Actually a lot better than I expected. Nice hoppiness that's not totally bitter and knocks your head off.
