16oz can is a clear gold. Smells like green coffee cherry and jalapeño. Flavor is cheesy. Sweet too. Bad. Do not. 3 2 3 1 5 This is bad. Avoid.

14/12/2023. Can courtesy of SHIG. Unlike his, this was drank from a glass like an .... anyway meant I saw it's vibrant gold coloured pour with a short lasting foamy white head. Aroma is pumpkin, apple, mulled spice, pastry, nutmeg, hint of sulphur. Nice level of sweetness, light tartness, more pumpkin pie on the taste with some sugary baked apple to finish. Right amount of fizz. Well done.

Bottle at my sisters house. Pale golden with a few bubbles. Aroma is apples with a touch of juniper. Taste is dry, the gin barrel prodiving perfect accompaniment to the dry, mildly tart apples.

Perfectly clear, very light golden coloured body that looks closer to most of the N/A beers I've had recently to any actual cider, all with a super fast-dying pure white head. Aroma of light dry apples with some subdued lemon and tart notes here along with a touch of yeast and alcohol noticeable as well, but smelling more like dried herbal and grassy notes. Ultra Light-Bodied; Strong dry and floral flavours show at first with a slight bitterness from the crisp notes, but the light sugars and very appley flavour takes hold and finishes this off nicely with a dry kick of apple and strong effervescence at the finish. Aftertaste shows more of the apples, very light sweetness and a good herbal, grassy kick at the end without any real pungent alcohol or deep notes throughout. Overall, a pretty crisp and straight-forward cider with no off-putting notes or pungency, but a dryness throughout and enjoyable, robust floral aspect. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Gull & Hammock [gifts] in Cape Charles, Virginia [Eastern Shore] on 24-February-2023 for US$3,99 sampled in my hotel here in Linthicum Heights, Maryland (BWI) on 01-April-2023 a few minutes before leaving for Hawai`i on Spring Break.
