Aromas are musty apple cider with a hint of black cherry. Flavors are similar to and better than nose but still with the same balance. The black cherry is just barely there. Sweet tart. Good body and carbonation.

Aromas are apple cider with a little bit of cinnamon. Flavors are similar to, much bolder and better than nose. Cider and cinnamon come out more and there are hints of vanilla. Slightly on the tart side with enough sweet and bitter to balance. Decent stuff.

Aromas are slightly mild apple cider with berries and mustiness. Flavors are similar to but more intense than nose. A little more sweet than tart with some tannin. Finish is more berry than apple. Not bad; something different but not memorable.

Draft at Ashland Ale house. Feel like been neglecting cider lately and this was one of only ticks available. Cinnamon and nutmeg and sweet flesh apple, touch of vanilla. Decent enough little messy

Canned 3/12/24, drunk 9/27/25.
Found this can in my girlfriend's basement. Pours clear, maple-golden. Fizzy.
Smells like one of those french toast sticks i ate for lunch in elementary school.
Tastes like that, with some cider notes that certainly do not go well with pastry/flour/waffle. Like soaking waffles in apple cider and adding maple. Pretty downright disgusting. Imagine giving this a 7.6!
