On tap @ NC Cider Fest. Hazy, deep fresh cider amber. Acidic core, green strawberry nose, obvious. Dry, malic, strong sharp, lemon, potent fresh strawberry; backsweetened. Bit of texture, medium high carb, didn't notice the abv. Kinda pushy but good.

Can as pictured. Slightly hazy pale. Big foamy head that fades rapidly to nil. Nose is certainly that of IPA, lacks that skunk veggie nose that comes with many session IPA. Taste is a little watery fer sher. However it does have a sort of orange juice IPA feel and flavor. Not as bitter as an IPA should be so it makes it a little more enjoyable to me. Slight veggie feel in the background. Decent co2 as well. Oh well, IPA is an IPA; there are a million of them out there and they pretty much all taste the same. This one is just not as bastardly as as most.

Refrigerated 12 oz can poured into a glass. Hazy golden with small white head. Aroma is wheat esters, medium body, lower carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is wheat esters and honeysuckle. Interesting beer.

Pours clear pale yellow from a can. Smell is surprisingly very much like cheap pale lager. Odd initial flavor. Taste is rather bland. Yes, there is apple sider in there but the rest of the stuff all blends together to yield a weird, somewhat tasteless brew. At least its not insulting. Rather well behaved. No real ill effects. No tea, rubard nor strawberry really peaks out of this one. Slight warming sensation going down the gullet. Not sure what to think about this. Finishes with a rather perfumy tasting palate.

OK, found this at total wine while passing thru NC. Seems to be a typical fermented cider with no additives. Drank right from the clear bottle, It has a slight haze and its very light yellow to the eye. Fairly decent apple cider with no extra adjuncts, just plain old simple fun tasting apple cider. No real ill effects in this one. No spices. Straight up, its just the way a plain old apple american cider should be, I'm enjoying this. Very good example of a domestic, no spices added, cider. Seems to have no added sugar and like that. Very little unfermented sugar which makes me think they let it pretty much ferment all the way out, without adding sugar to the ferment. Nice job AMB!

12oz can from Earth Fare. Came here for the sale on crab cakes, left with half a basket of suspect rates. Mojito glass @ home. Strong pour, flash of head, gold, slightly opaque body. Smells of real sweet ginger & other great things with a soft apple background. Taste is semi-sweet apple juice, spicy ginger/tumeric & an assortment of citrus & botanicals. Lightly bitter, some heat. Very fresh/authentic & maybe not everything is powdered. Impressed by the lack of veggie-ness. Lingering heat is fun. Sulfite headache. Slight weight/yeastiness/body. Moderately low carbonation. Okay carbonation. Apples are very diluted. Ingredients indicate they water down a base cider & back sweeten. Adjuncts are organic though. Why not just make good cider in the first place? This is basically really good ginger ale. Apparently this local brand is now brewed in Portsmouth, NH...

12oz single from Earth Fare. Packaged Aug 3 21. Stemless wine glass @home in front of a mess of leftover gift wrap. Clear, pale gold. Looks flat after the pour. Wafting scent of Miler High Life as the bottle is opened. It reawakens as it pours. I do not smell cider. Deep down, I only smell alcohol & sticky beer. Taste is semi-sweet sugar water, malic acid, old hops(why) & watered down Mott's. Ingredients seem to indicate that it is backsweetened. So, thinned out industrial booze with sugar & apple juice added. Bubbly, slightly slick, candy tartness, boozy for 5%. Little to nothing here.

Right from the weiss $2 can I was expecting a hazy pale ale, but its not hazy; its clear yellow. Usually a blonde will have a little haze to her look, right? First big swig is somewhat annoyingly astringent, just slightly. Its already talking back to me. In a glass it makes a big white foamy head. Yea, flavor seems like it should be more than 5%, fer sher. It just somewhat lacks in civility, you know, blondes are more civil, right? Towards the end I'm getting a little annoyed, its not getting any better. It's just a tick. A decent tick, almost. Move on, those blondes.
