On tap @TreeRock. Short pour. Clear, gold, frothy, lingering head, suspect. Strong artificial caramel scent. Fake caramel, tart apple, lingering popcorn butter. Just can't stomach it. Sad how things like this make it past R&D. Somehow also smokey. Greasy tart. New terrible. No.

On tap @TreeRock. Short pour. Clear, peachy pink color, residual lace. Smells of Woodchuck-inspired ferments & dusty berry gummi vitamins. Calcium dusted fruity Flintstone vitamins, very sulfated dried fruit, simple syrup, gummi bear tartness. Candy. Melted gummi consistency, mellow carbonation, hidden abv. It's a joke to see this in the top 50.

Sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers Shawn! Clear golden colour, white foam head that dissipates away and aroma of apple, pumpkin flesh, vegetal. Taste is sweet, caramel & vanilla, apple, creamy pumpkin soup notes, and sugary molasses. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, sweetness at the finish. Interesting, quite drinkable.

This cider smells of apple and vanilla with some cinnamon. It has a sweet flavor but avoids being too sugary. There is apple, vanilla, and cinnamon as advertised and it all blends together nicely to create one of the better ciders.

Can & tulip at Tree House. Smells of apple juice box & unattractive vanilla powdered sugar. Taste is ugly booze, tart apples, donut frosting, bitter greens, heavy fake vanilla. Tartness only comes of pineapple-y because I read the description. Thin, strong carbonation, slightly dusty. Something very unnatural in this. Nope.
