Picked up at Costco - Springfield VA. Poured a very pale, clear yellow color with no head. Still. Aroma was light sweet notes, some honey, sweet floral notes. Some light sweet character here. Flavor was light sweetness, some crisp apple character in this one. Pretty tasty. Alcohol is really well masked.

Ridiculously crystal clear coloured body with a slight honey glow, but literally looks more like pure water than any other beer/cider I've ever had. Aroma of funk and very nice dry hop notes with a quite pungent apple and honey scent - nice and strong throughout. Light-bodied; Strong apple flavour with a very dry bite at first with a crisp red apple flavour showing some light hops, but more of a pronounced funk and grassy character with the apples of course than anything else. Aftertaste is quite simple and straight-forward with some dry and hoppy notes showing through the apples and crisp honey flavour at first, but after a longer while, the apples really are the only things noticeable. Overall, a decent cider with more flavours than typical, but still not enough to show that it is complex enough to drink on a daily basis and definitely a bit too straight-forward for even this style. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 22-October-2017 for US$3,29 after running the USMC Marathon 2017 for my seventh time, sampling this beer at home in Washington on 12-December-2017.
