Bottle: Poured a maroon with a load of bubbles, head was white bubbles. Aroma is apple and pomegranate. I don't mind their flavored ciders, apple forward and pomegranate is there but not overpowering. Not to artificial either.

Clear bottle off the sale rack at JR's. Bright cherry red and clear. Boozy fruit nose, maybe its berry. Stronger boozy forward somewhat berry flavored brew. Can't really tell this is apple based cider. Decent level of co2. More like a sweeter fruit soda malt alky bomb. Warming sensations on the finish. Not too bad.

Oh yes, got this cheap bottle off the sale rack at JR's. Its very light hazy pale with an ever so slight orange tint. You'd never know it was orange flavored by looking at it. Nose is oddly waxy, not sure if I'm getting any orange in there or not. Very mild orange flavor, tastes like booze spiked artificial orange drink. Surprisingly flat. A little dull for what it is. Quite boozy. Not bad, just a weird thing for a cider. Comes across like one of those flavored malt fruit bombs.
