aroma is mainly of apples, pineapple and passion fruit. The flavor is sweet but not too terribly sweet like I find some ciders. Passion fruit and apples lead. Pineapple. The guava? I don’t know. It’s pretty good though

This cider smells of strawberries and cucumbers. The flavor is quite sweet. Strawberries dominate. Apple is in there and cucumber is mild under all that sweetness. It’s not super sweet and the strawberries are tasty. I’d still prefer the sweetness to be cut a bit, but it’s a good summery drink.

Pours clear pale gold with no head. The aroma is pretty mild with apples and a little booze. The full flavor is of sweet green apples. Booze is mostly buried. I’d not have guessed it’s 8%. It’s similar to Ace High but sweeter, I think. I’d tone that down a little more, but this is still quite good.

Single from 604. Mojito glass @home. Bright, clear, peachy orange pour, lathery head. Soapy peach potpourri nose. Not inviting. Taste is malic tart & concentrated. Cooked/canned sweet peaches & really acidic bittersweet berries. Odd floral, orange soda, berry skin tannins, lingering tartness. Syrupy, strong carbonation, noticable abv. Too sweet & soapy, but I liked the tartness.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 6
Single can from 604. Stemless wine glass @home. Foamy, clear, pale gold. Soft dessert pear, pineapple, light acid, chalk. Pear sweetness, white sugar, mellow apple, malic acid, very strong elderflower finish. Crispy, force carbed, syrupy soda, starchy, feels stronger than just 5%. Too sweet, too full flavored, but I did drink half the can before calling it. Would make a good mixer.

Pours clear light gold. The aroma? Well, it’s peachy, of course, with some apples. The flavor is sweet and peachy. It’s maybe a little sweeter than I’d like but not terribly so. Refreshing.
