Can. Pink in color. Taste is certainly apple but with a slight tint of artificial strawberry. Not sure if I can pick up any lemon, I guess I was looking for a shandy kind of feel to it, but the lemon is pretty much absent except for a little bit of tartness. Goes down fairly easy. Actually. way too easy, considering its got an ABV near 7%. Yes, no sign of alky in this beverage. Artificial aspects seem to fade as the session continues. Not bad overall and there doesn't seem to be much unfermented sugar in this one.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 6/16/21. Hazy pink, thin fizzy tan head, poor retention. Aroma of sweet apple and strawberry. A bit of tartness. Taste is dry apple, lemon, tart berry. Juicy, could be balanced better. Decent.

Pours clear red. Smells of cranberries, ginger, and apple. The flavor is sweetish with ginger and cranberry prominent and the apple cider base underlying it. The ginger is more than a hint but that’s good. I like ginger.

Backlog. Aroma is of apples and habanero. The flavor has some pretty spicy habanero. There’s also sweet apples. I don’t really notice the mango. It’s a well made cider though not I’m not super crazy about the spicy combo.
