Nice light cider with just a bit of ginger burn at the backend. Very refreshing for summer.

Crystal clear coloured body, that looks more of seltzer water than a typical Cider, all with a very faint golden glow and a non-existant white head. Aroma of very soft and subtle apples, ginger, honey and grass with a hint of mint mixed in as well, but fairly mild throughout. Light-bodied; Strong apple and light mint and spices (basil?) Components show through with a great effervescence and smooth sweetness that shows more from honey than from pure apple/fruit-based sugars. Aftertaste is fairly mild throughout, with only a light dose of flowers, yeast and honey, with most of the flavours coming from the pure apple notes that shine through, in a good way. Overall, a nice and enjoyable, very mild, Cider, with flavours coming through in light spices and pure sugar and quite mild otherwise. Good to sample and very clean throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 11-November-2019 for US$3,49, sampled later in the day at home in Washington on 11-November-2019.

Super pale, light ghostly white with an ultra-fast (as usual) dying head that doesn't show at all, after a few seconds after a vigorous pour. Aroma of light apples, grain, a heavy dose of very dry pepper and some light oak without anything else - very dry and pungent without much else at all, aside from some light alcohol. Light-bodied; Deep appley flavour with some light grass and dry yeast and oak notes with a little dose of pure caster sugar with a faint spice note of coriander seed and allspice and only a touch of more assertive and grainy notes with the alcohol hitting at the end. Aftertaste shows a nice and mellow grassy and herbal bite with some alcohol and definite coriander seed and dry freshness noticeable, but a bit understated with the profile and the apple bite here. Overall, a very dry, subdued and pungent cider with some good notes, and a noticeable, but perhaps underwhelming pungent character. I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from Eataly in New York (Downtown), New York on 13-August-2018 for US$4,20 sampled at home in Washington on 22-October-2019, just over a year later.

Pours clear, pale yellow with no head. Aroma of fermented apple. Taste has dry cider elements, heavily carbonated and watery. Palate is apples, slight tart notes. Less tart than a typical cider.

Pours clearish with almost no head. Aroma of sickly sweet apples. Taste has nasty cider notes. Palate has salty lactose notes. Bad.

Can shared by Kelly, thanks for the opportunity. Huge sulfur on the nose when first opened and poured. Hazy light golden in color. Has the flavor and aroma of cough drops with a strong ginger feel. Not the cider for me.
