Very crisp and super subdued golden coloured body with an almost ghostly white glow, with a thinnish, super fast-dying white head, expected, of course. Light apple and brutish, dry grassy notes dominate with no real sweetness here in the nose nor any complexity, which again is acceptable here. Light-bodied; Very crisp and dry apple and funky yeastie/bready notes dominate without much else aside from a light herbal and perfumey quality and some tart lemon notes at the endn but very easy-drinking and simplistic. Aftertaste shows a pretty soft apple flavour as well, with nothing really coming out that is complex or flavourful to help this out as it sort of dies off after a few seconds of a light apple note with yeast. Overall, a very subdued, dry, crisp and inoffensive cider with limited notes across the board, even in terms of apples, sweetness and flaovur profile. Still decent to try, and if for soe reason you are reading this and looking for a subdued, light cider, this is a good bet for you! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from The Big Meadows Wayside in Shenandoah National Park ('Luray'), Virginia on 19-June-2022 for US$1,79 sampled while hiking a day later with my wife and three kids in Shenandoah National Park on 20-June-2022.
