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.

Draft at Blake's Cider Mill and Farm in Armada, MI. Pours a light pink with almost no head. Berry, lemonade and pop rocks on the nose. Palate is similar. Sweet lemonade with light blueberry skin notes on the finish. Was fun on a late summer afternoon looking a sunflowers and picking fruit.

This cider has a strawberry and apple aroma. The flavor is sweet with apples, strawberries, lemon. It’s sweeter than I’d like but I think the lemon sourness reins it in somewhat.

Can from market district robinson. Clear and very light yellow. Lots of visible co2. Smells like apple cider. No hint of pineapple on the nose. First taste is good considering the pineapple apple cider I used to make, that stuff was rather rude; never could get get it right. This on the other hand is very refreshing and fun, way to easy for an alky drink. Lots of cutting carbonation sizzling across the tongue, nice. In the middle this is becoming very enjoyable. In the end, its a better cider but I'm curious about the amount of unfermented sugar in this stuff.
