12 ounce can from Woodman’s Appleton, 9/30/22. Clear gold, tin tan head, poor retention. Aroma of tart apple, cocoa, cinnamon. Taste is cocoa, chocolate, tart apple, tart cherry. It is what is promised, but not a great concept. Meh throughout.

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

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.
