2$ can at chalet premier. Pour is pink clear with an orange tint. Nose is boozy strawberry. First taste is also quite boozy on the onset, backed with some fruit taste of some sort. Maybe I'll call it strawberry, but its not dead on real strawberry flavor, hehehh. However, the label does say it uses real fruit. Warming sensations thru the middle. Sweet yet gets a little medicinal at times. Yes, could pass as one of those fruit flavored malt beverage fizzy alky bombs. Think about a fruited cider spiked with some grain alky. A little difficult at times near the finish.

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.
