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.

Bottle. Redish color. Aroma is again like the regular Woodchuck, but with a slight caramel aroma. Decent flavor, again of apple and some caramel.

bottle - Pours clear and straw colored with a minimal head. The aroma is of sour apples. The flavor is sweet, too sweet, but not as overdone as the amber. The tartness of Granny Smith apples is quite apparent. This is so-so. I’d drink it again and it is kind of refreshing. It’s not something worth seeking out though.

bottle - Pours amber and clear with a thin white head. There’s a decent apple aroma. The flavor is kind of sweet, but not cloyingly sweet like the amber. I like the balance better on this one. There’s some tartness and a mildly dry finish. Not bad.

draft - I hadn’t had a cider on tap in a year or two, so I had to try it again. This one has very little aroma. What’s there is sweet, a hint of the cloyingly sweet taste to come. I like a cider once in awhile, but yeah, they really overdid the sweetness here. The apple taste is alright, but there are many better ciders out there.

(On tap) Clear, fully golden with a - rather unusual - creamy, white head that even leaves some laces. Discreet apple aroma. Very soft and smooth mouthfeel. Medium with a high degree of sweetness, vague accents of apples and other fruits. Somewhat perfumy Skittles accent. Lacks some acidity and edge, but very drinkable. 010406

Bottle. Tart candy apple aroma. Light amber color. Very sweet apple flavor with moderate carbonation.. Very sweet and hides alcohol well. Won’t be powerful enough for a hard core beer drinker but would be a good choice if your date doesn’t like beer.

Bottle. Sour apple and vinegar aroma. Very pale yellow-green color. Lightly sweet apple cider flavor - slightly tart but not as much as I would have expected given the Granny Smith content. Tastes much better than it smells. Like a sweet English cider.
