Draft. Poured a hazy dark yellow color with a small off-white fizzy head that disappeared pretty quickly. Aroma was tart apples, heavy notes of ginger. Flavor was plenty of spicy, robust shaved ginger, lots of juicy apples. This was similar to a ginger beer without the added sugar, as my girlfriend said.

Bottle from secret Santa. Poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark pink with no head. Aroma of fresh raspberries and some tart green apple. Taste is medium tart. Follows aroma. You can tell this is real raspberries, not the jolly rancher type fake raspberry taste. Light bodied with a slick texture. Fizzy carbonation and a long, tart finish. Overall, pretty good. Not something I would have picked up on my own but still very good.

Not the worst cider I've had. Ginger back end burns the throat.

Quite rare and its from a clear bottle. Smell is slight aroma of ginger. Yes, very dry, all the sugar has been fermented out of this stuff. Ginger does strangely add some heat to this. Its dry but not awful dry like the stuff I make. Lots of co2 but that heat certainly is apparent. Yes interesting burn down the throat. This almost has a mole attitude about it. Quite unique and quite dry. Glad have had the chance to try this stuff. Not disappointed. If yer looking fer cider that has lots of unfermented sweet sugar in there, like woodchuck, don’t look here. This is more like the real thing. Biting and fresh. Yes that ginger heat is something you need to experience.

12oz single from The Northern Liberties Foodery in Philly.
Wine goblet. Clear, golden, active. Lasting quarter inch of white fizz.
Smells softly of Schweppes ginger ale & lemon. Not spicy like the Jamaican stuff.
Taste is a disappointment. Crazy dry, withered remnants of apple cider. Strong carbonation. It’s barely held together by a prickly, faded ginger spice. Actually, it tastes mostly of peppercorn, & not at all zesty. :( Biting, but completely lacking any fleshy ginger flavor.
Refreshing, but soulless.

Twelve ounce bottle from the Northern Liberties Foodery in Philly. Poured into a rounded pint glass.
Clear bronze body. Soda fizz.
Smells of gummi bears, fragrant perry, & plastic.
Tastes of boiled apples, peel, stems, & all. Saline. Watermelon rind bitterness. Banana-ish esters mixed in with some residual yeasty quality towards the end. Dry, but more acidic & not at all tart or crisp. Harsh forced carbonation seems to be to try & fill those gaps.
A bit to anemic for me.

On tap at the 1-4 the road and most recently at the house of 1000 beers, ther it was called philly dry cider. It tasted like my old homemade cider. Old reating: Fairly clear with lots of co2 present, makes an attractive looking drink. Not much aroma, just simple and clean, barely smell any apple if any. THe taste is dry with no sugar, this must have fermented all the way out. A little more friendly than my own homemade cider. Good co2. Just a simple clean cider, not a sugary drink like so many of the bottled ciders available around here. Finish is simple and not bitter at all. Yes, rather enjoyable for a dry cider. Does have a somewhat difficult aftertaste, like most fully fermented ciders.
