12 oz can from Hop and Hound. Picked this one up solely based on my pure enjoyment of cherry lime flavored anything. Very margarita like cider. Sweet soda like cherry character. Long lingering sugary lime linger. Apples are there, but more of an afterthought here. Pretty refreshing if the flavors match what you look for in a cool and easy drinking. Barely tart. If I didn't love a cherry lime anything, I'd be much more annoyed with this as a cider overall.

Pours clear pale gold with no head. It smells of apples, cinnamon, and sugar. The sweet flavor is similar with the cinnamon front and center. It’s basically dessert and to be fair, dessert and breakfast foods have significant overlap. It’s not exactly my thing but it very much is what it says it.

Pours clear gold with a small white head. Nice apple aroma. Maybe a hint of lavender. The flavor is moderately sweet with some dryness in the finish. It’s highly carbonated. Lavender is very subtle. Good though.

This cider smells like blueberries and maple syrup. The sweet flavor has more of the same along with the expected apples. It’s all the way with the high abv mostly buried.

Big mango aroma with just a hint of burn from the peppers. Flavor leans more sweet than spicy with some natural pepper flavor. Would like a little more heat.

Draft at Tap99. Poured a very clear ruby red color with a small white head. Aroma was big berries. Very jammy. Strawberries, raspberries, with some blackberry. Pretty tasty jammy notes.
