A 2$ can from vintage. Pour reminds me of pink ginger ale, looks clear with a bubbly pink tinge. No head. Nose is a tad boozy on mild berry. Stronger cider flavor, some berries and a warming sensation down the middle. There is berry fruit, but no discernible character of blueberry. Yes its tart, but you really can't say its dry. A little sweet for what it is. You'd think 8% cider would be much drier than this stuff. Not saying it isn't tasting good, just saying it comes across like many alky soda bombs. Yes, rather smooth for what it is and it goes down easy except for the alarming warming sensation. Just hope the sugar don't play havoc with my poor little tummy, hehehehh.

Can for 3$ at total wine st pete. Pour is almost like very light colored tea. Cinnamon and spice on the nose. Whew, lots of spice on the first taste. Its loaded with stuff that has nothing to do with apple cider. Quite sweet. Some kind of odd doughy flavors fer sher. Easy to drink, just can't get used to this very unique taste. Now I'm getting a warming sensation in the middle. Also, I'm getting a little bit of a medicinal feel in this. I like all kinds of apple cider, but this is a bit of an odd flavored mess. This is OK for a tick, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Amber with a small white head that faded quickly. Apple, sugar, maple and cinnamon. Long finish. Medium body.

Yellow color with a cinnamon aroma. Sweet apple and cinnamon flavor, hint of caramel and vanilla. Dry, crisp finish. Overall reminds me of apple cider donuts.

Lime and vanilla aroma. Sweet flavor, kind of sugary but the lime cuts it some. Lime, vanilla, cinnamon, and apple. Very enjoyable.

$2 single from the Filling Station in Nashville. Obvious low expectations. Double checked & it is a cider with raspberry & tea added.
Pint glass at home. Clear, cliche raspberry-tea, wispy head pour.
Strong raspberry candy nose, light veggie astringency with a hint of apple concentrate.
Raspberry candy over some solid Lemon Lipton Brisk. Bittersweet leaning sweet. Malic acid, chem & some light grape drank notes. This drinks better than expected, mostly because I can't taste much of their horrible cider.
Frothy, tart, artificial & kinda refreshing when cold.
Solid desperation move. Obviously the best thing they've ever produced.

This is a boozy sugar bomb. The aroma is of apples, mangoes, and some alcohol. The flavor is very sweet with apples, mangoes, and booze. It’s drinkable but too sweet. What are they doing? Blake’s is usually better.
