Draft: Poured a light pale yellow color cider with limited carbonation. Aroma of cucumber and spicy ginger notes is more or less pleasant. Taste is also a mix of cucumber and spicy ginger with no real apple notes. Body is light with soft carbonation. Not sure the cucumber is really working in this mix.

Sample at Kraft House No. 5. Clear pale golden color with a medium white head that burns away quickly to a film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of apples and spice. Medium body with a dry sparkling apple cider character with some sweet spice in the background. The finish is fruity with a sweet apple aftertaste. Decent overall.

tap at Summit City - This cider has a spicy aroma up front along with the apples. The flavor is sweet with apples and berries. Sweetness carries through to the finish. It’s awfully sweet but it’s refreshing enough.

Draft. Musty apple aroma. Slightly cloudy pale yellow, no head per usual for cider. Earthy moderately sweet apple flavor. Light body, moderate carbonation.
