Can thanks to Drake! Clear ass pink with a tiny white head that disappeared before I finished thanking Drake. Tart berries, sweet apple nose. Flavor is...oh that's a nice mix. Strawberry - the sweetest piece of this, apple - green, sweet, tart blackberry, tart raspberry... light green leaf in the end. Very little apple funk in this one. I strangely enjoy this.

Typical cider aroma. Sweeter taste than typical cider due to the pineapple taste. A little hint of spice from the sage. Nice for a dessert.

Pale yellow pour. Aroma is apples with a little pineapple. It's sweet with apples and mild pineapple. I wish the latter was a little stronger. Overall it's alright.

Smells of sweet apples and some cherries. The flavor is sweet apples with mild cherries and a hint of oak character. The barrel aged aspect is very mild. Easy drinking. It's pretty good though I think I'd enjoy a little drier with more barrel character.

Tropical and pepper aroma. Taste is sweet mango with a slow burn of pepper at the end that lingers.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 1/13/20. Yep apple cider from Appleton! Seriously though, we need to be more of an apple town. The apple selection here is kinda meh. Clear gold. thin head that fades quickly. Aroma of oak, whisky, dry apples, cherry. Taste is tart cherry, sweet apple, vanilla, mild whisky. Medium bodied, oily, crisp. Nice.
