Can from Tasty Beverage in NC. Stumpy pint glass. Clear, oily gold; active. Smell is a moderate but dominating Jasmine green tea pot while waiting for the first dish at the Chinese restaurant situation. Taste is tart, dry, sour apples/orange & Jasmine green tea. Lost the orange in there somewhere. Low carbonation, thin. A weaker addition to their spritzer lineup. Jasmine is natural & all there, but just a bit too much Jasmine for anything else. Meh.

Can from Tasty Bev in Asheville. Pint glass. Clear, dark gold, slight oily sheen. Smells strongly of camomile & other florals. Backdrop of twangy apple & lemon. Taste is soft & pleasant florals, lemon & lightly sweet desert apples. Faintly tart, almost ginger-like. Rounded, non-abrasive carbonation. Light & supple all around. Again finding that I enjoy this lighter brand within the sweeter mainline stuff. Good, but great for what it aims to be.

Can from Tasty Beverage in Asheville. Duvel glass. Clear, vibrant, pale straw color. Lingering past white ring of head. Smells of melon-y/plum-y twang, mellow apples & yeast. Thin, tangerine over white grapefruit pith citra hops, minty bitterness, acidic apples, seltzer, oily, off-dry, crispy. Okay. Just not what I'm looking for.

Single can from Tasty Beverage in Asheville. Duvel glass. With a known bias towards hibiscus brews, with most being too mismatched or oddly flavored, I dive in. Clear, magenta-colored, sparking brew. Smells softly of meadow flowers, grass, & hibiscus, sharp & gently sweet like fresh cut fruit. Taste is soft hibiscus tea, faintly tart, very light lime pith, watered down grocery store apple flavor & not at all too sweet. Crispy, thin, easy. Low on apples, but a refreshing mocktail of sorts that you can't been too hard on for appeasing to what people want. Beach cider.

What does cider is about is cinnamon. And has a boatload of cinnamon in Aroma and flavor. If you like cinnamon, this is a cider for you.

Aromaz are apple cider, solvent, the hint of some sort of fruit. The flavors are a little better but just barely, nothing is in balance and it's just barely drinkable.

Stumpy half liter bottle from Tasty beverage. Appropriately shaped stumpy pint glass, hazed dark amber pour. Smells softly of apples, cinnamon & yes, something sweet like raisin-y pudding. Taste is round & flabby. Mellow sweetness, some acid, lightly bitter & soft heat, very low tartness. Not terrible in any sort, just very... mushy. Meh.

Single from Tasty Beverage in Asheville. Pint glass pour. Fizzy, clear, MGD gold body. Smells like Jamaican ginger ale with a slight hint of apples. Taste is better then expected. Slick, somewhat carbonated body. Tannic apple wine, honey, real ginger, soda water. Lingering bitter finish over softly tart apples. Boozy. Not a fan of Noble ciders, but this was solid enough to share over bbq.
