12 oz bottle thanks to Heather_B on this share. Clear white clear color, steady carbonation. Aroma is light maple with a strong amount of Mcintosh.
Well, I don’t taste and maple but the McIntosh is in full affect. Clean Apple crispness in the finish but nowhere do I get maple flavoring. Yeah...

12oz can picked up today. Very light yellow. no head, good clarity. Aroma is sweet but no maple at all. Sharp acidity, sharp carbonation, fleeting sweetness and only a hint of woody maple sap but there’s not much really going on on that front. Just a nice clean fall cider.

Bottle from Hunger Mountain Coop. It pours clear deep amber with limited head. The nose is sweet-sour, oily, woody, sweet apple pie, marzipan, stewed apples & pears and tart tatatin. The taste is slick, bitter-sweet, rich sweet apple, apple skin, stewed pear, some warming alcohol, caramelised nuts and honey with a slick finish. Medium - full body and oily mouth-feel. Rich and decadent. Nice one.

750 ml from Cigarette City, Seabrook for the price of $9.99. Really nice pink color with active carbonation that makes it look like a champagne in a flute glass. Aroma is very pleasing, sweet smashed apples with a light cranberry and honey.
Flavor is very nicely balanced with sweet apple and tart Berry. The tartness doesn’t make the mouthfeel dry because of a juicy Apple texture. Damn, this is a wonderfully refreshing cider! I drank the entire bottle without any problem.
