Crisp golden coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of spices, light grain, a good amount of allspice and canella and a touch of lemons, but all with a bright and pungent apple scent - perhaps more from the core or potent areas than many other ciders. Light-bodied; Pure apple flavour with a ton of spices, like a mulled cider in autumn-time with a ton of allspice, star anise and cloves and a touch of coriander seed freshness, but the apples are very nice here and very refreshing. Aftertaste is deep and pungent with a solid, yet spicey kick near the end - very nice throughout. Overall, a great cider with a full flavour, yet very smooth and easy-to-drink. Nice to sample and definitely recommended, especially when the temperature gets hot! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased a few minutes ago from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York sampled while my kids played at Father Demo’s Playground in Greenwich Village, New York on 10-June-2017 for US$2,50.

On tap @ Blind Tiger. Almost looks like an tropical juice this. Really cloudy, almost murky and only a thin filmy sidesticking little thing on the sides of the glass. The aroma is really lovely tropical, apply and sweet. Lots of mango traces, red sweet apples, yellow apples and something herbal. Rosemary perhaps? Some raisins also here. A really nice aroma on this. It's almost carbonation free this, only a few prickling bubbles on the tongue and it has a nice oily texture in the mouth. This is how a semi sweet cider should taste. Really tropical apply. Sweetish without being too much or sugary. A really nice refreshing summery cider. 09.06.2015

Sampled on draft this cider poured a murky apricot color with a small soapy white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was fairly sweet apple juice. The flavor was tart apple and apple juice. Medium length tart apple finish. Medium body. Solid.

Draft at Beer Authority, as Maple Pecan Cider. Hazy apple juice pour without much head or lace. Apple and cinnamon aroma with some nutty notes as well. Flavor is similar, fairly sweet. Solid.

Location: 12 oz can from Bottle King - Livingston, 11/29/15
Aroma: The nose is fairly sweet, with lots of apple and not much else
Appearance: Pours a rather murky looking yellowish color without much head and with light lace
Flavor: Taste similar, sweet apple with some mild tartness and apple skin notes
Palate: Light-medium bodied, not watery, soft carbonation, clean enough on the finish
Overall Impression: Pretty one-dimensional, but not bad, especially if you like good old standard apple cider (which I do). It's straight up sweeter apple cider in flavor. So much so, that I might try heating a can of this up and throwing in a cinnamon stick. I can barely tell the difference between this and the non-alcoholic stuff.
