6.1/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Poured from unmeasured (mL) bottle. Clear yellow gold with no head. Mild sweet apple juice, a touch boozy, lacks body and complexity. Meh.

Bottle, pours a clear pale golden blonde. Nose has washed out toffee, stewed apple, booze, and apple juice concentrate. Flavour has lots of apple juice concentrate, stewed apple, toffee, booze, and some perfumey notes. Far from an elite ice cider—far too much apple juicy concentrate and booziness, and lacking depth. OK.

6.3/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
375mL bottle. Pours clear light gold. Perfumey, floral, light sugars, apple skins on the nose. Flavour is quite floral with light, sweet apples, some apple cores, floral notes, light toffee. It's enjoyable, but not an excellent ice cider.

7.4/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Fresh, bright apple aroma, tart apple skins and fresh cut apple flesh. Crisp, clean mouth feel, very high carb. The finish is tart and clear and incredibly refreshing, a cider for unsweetened dry cider fans.

4oz pour at the Dresden Row taproom. Pours clear rose-gold. Aroma has nice blackberry notes. Flavour has lots of sugary blackberry. More like blackberry juice than a cider.

4oz pour at the Dresden Row taproom. Pours clear rose-gold. Aroma has strawberries and apples. Flavour has very sugary strawberries, apple skins, sweet rhubarb. Way too sweet, but does have a nice strawberry character.

4oz pour at the Dresden Row taproom. Pours murky, ruddy orange. Aroma has apples and citrus. Flavour is very sweet, mostly apples, with a hind of blood orange. Sugars completely drown out any subtelty.
