In a glass, from a cheap can, this stuff pours clear light pale. Yea. I get it - merikan hard cider, you know with a kick! Pop the lid and the nose is a crispy clean american apple smell, nothing artificial on the olfactory. First swig is apple fer sure, but it is a little boozy, you'd expect that for 8%, but its not as boozy as an 8-percenter should be. So, be careful, you may have a few of these not realizing the brain numbing effect it has on affecting the motor skills. Hehehh. Yea, goes down easy, goes down way too easy. It doesn't even have a warming sensation, how interesting. I do note however, that in the middle, I think I'm starting to feel what its doing to me brain. I think I'm starting to feel better about life in general. Nothing very rude about the taste. You now, I've brewed hard cider myself for a few years but I could never get to taste this good, it always had a little rude ass attitude to it that is lacking here. Yea, its sweet and friendly, for the most part it's friendly, but it does carry a sort of alky based kick. I just wonder how they got the alky content up so high? It says they didn't add anything but apple but I'm not so sure. In the end its a pretty good brew for the alky content it contains, and the price you pay; much more civilized than the soda pop malt beverages out there with the same alky content.

Pale cantaloupe color with a trace white head. Semi sweet with apple juice and strawberry notes. Medium finish and body.

Pours clear pale yellow green. It has a lightly tart apple aroma. It tastes of sweet apples. It’s a bit floral and finishes with some dryness. Pleasant.

Clear pink body small foamy off white head. Berry fruity aroma. Berry fruity flavor. Medium light body high carbonation. 7/3/6/3/13 3.2

$2 can from Trader Joe's while shopping for non-essentials. No one goes to TJs for real groceries, that's silly. Pint glass @home. Pale, clear, straw gold, lingering film. Smells strongly medicinal, bittersweet, weirdly herbal. Good & bad. Semi-sweet apples upfront, sorta tart. Kinda garbage-y, slightly past/spoiled apple bitterness, rubber, plus some unusual menthol sting. It's vaguely industrial. Finish is champagne yeasties & a nod to pear. Frothy, too noticeably boozy, slight soda finish. Not the worst $2 adult beverage I've had, but it parked on the same block.

12 ounce can from Niemuth's, 2/17/23. Clear pale gold, thin fizzy tan head, poor retention. Aroma of dry apples, bit of sweettart apple. Taste is sweet apple, a weird meaty and savory note. High carb.

Pour is certainly a peach-colored brew. You know, not really pale and its kinah light weird off yellah orange with a slight red tint? Nose is simply a mild fruity perfume, hard to tell if its peach or not. Not sure if I'm getting any blackberry in there on the taste, but it does have a mild berry hiding in the background. Yes, peach is there, and it's not artificial as far as I can tell. Somewhat sweet and a mild tart effect as well. Seems to have quite a bit of unfermented sugar in there. Pretty good, just like most of these blake ciders go. Hides the alky content nicely. Enjoyable for an alky drink. Not bad, just hoping it doesn't burn my lager loven tummy with too much sugar. Good co2 clear to the end. Refreshing.

On tap @TreeRock. Saefet, 5oz pour. Clear, pale gold, glistening. Smell is strong potpourri, bubblegum & sweet pineapple juice. Too perfume-y of a nose. Taste is mostly pineapple juice, dusty dried fruit, sulfites, plastic & a touch of passion fruit jam. Frothy, Low acid, way too sweet.
