Super pale barely golden tinted body with absolutely no head at all - this literally looks like white grape juice or a glass of any steel-based white wine. Aroma of pale apples, a bit of grass, some subdued dryness and a hint of sugars - nice, but mild. Light-bodied; Strong pale apple flavour that shows some nice sweetness, a bit of hay and earth and ends with a faint bit of alcohol and a lot of very dry grassy and appley flavours. Aftertaste is mild and subdued with the apples, alcohol and mild grass only noticeable. No real complexity and no deep flavours at all - this is nice, but predictable. Overall, a nice, grassy and very dry cider with some good sweetness, a lot of appley taste and little else, be that good or bad! I sampled this sixteen ounce pint on draught at Whole Foods in Pentagon City (Arlington) at the end of my driveway on 24-October-2016 for US$4,00.
