Description
The Brand that Started the American Cider Revolution

At Woodchuck® we have been crafting America’s original hard cider since 1991. Back then we didn’t really care that the world was drinking beer, because we had a passion for hard cider. So that’s what we made. Sure, cider may be popular now, either way we’ve stayed true to our roots, fermenting quality innovative ciders with every batch, because we like it.

Dark amber color. Moderate carbonation. Aroma and taste are apple juice. Pure apple juice. Some subtle carbonation feel, but really, it’s just apple juice. Not very dark or very dry and slightly tart in the finish. Bottle from a sampler.

Bottle from a sampler. Pale amber color. Clear with active carbonation. Crisp and sweet apple aroma. Taste is very similar, with a little bite at the end. I like this one quite a bit more than expected.

12 oz. bottle from a sampler. Clear pale yellow with lots of lively carbonation. Very fruity apple aroma, like a cross between granny smith apples and green apple jolly ranchers. Sweet up front with a tart finish.

12 oz. bottle from a sampler. Pours an asburdly clear very bubble palest yellow ever. Almost hard to tell there’s any color at all. Sweet pear aroma. Sweet pear taste as well. I like my perry and cider dry, and this is way too sweet. No depth or complexity.

Pours light amber with white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of sour apples. Tastes like tart apple juice. Light to medium body with average carbonation. Ovedrall I thought this was pretty good.

Pours clear pale greenish color with almost no head. Faint aroma of pears. Mildly sweet, watered down pear flavor. Light body with average carbonation. Nothing special, but I would still rather have one of these than most light beers.

Bottle. Light amber color. Aroma is mild apple. A bit thin in body with mild carbonation. Very straight forward apple flavor. More dry than sweet. One of the better ciders? It is clean and refreshing.

Apparently there are a 150 cals per 12 oz bottle, and 4%, and then I keep reading down to the ingredients...wish I hadn’t, as it sounds more unnatural than most energy drinks. Aroma is of sweet ripe pears, caramel, sugar and some earthiness. Looks like pale ginger ale minus even the fizzy head (that this lacks). Taste is WAY too sweet and thing. Its a lot like drinking a soda in all the bad ways, except that it, like a soda, is quite easy to drink. Fizzy carbonation. There is this weird aftertaste left in my mouth that I can’t really describe properly. It reminds me a lot of Hookah tobacco. Oh well, won’t buy any more of this.

12 oz bottle from Country Club Liquors; nose of guess what? Pears! Translucent pale gold with a very small white head; flavor of lightly sweet pears with the bubbles tingling your tongue. Not a bad perry!
