The guy giving samples at Kroger did his work and got me to pick up a 6-pack. Not that I was overly impressed with the peach, but he seemed very nice and not pushy - and I guess I must be a pushover. Anyway, he says this was released today 7/22/16. Pours golden with no head. Aroma of bitter peach and nectarine. Taste is not sweet - which is nice. It’s not bitter though either. It’s quite smooth and inoffensive to those against sweet or bitter. Definite peach in there, but also really reminds me of nectarine. This is tasty. Simple, not strong, but tasty.

4 oz pour on draft at Spacebar. Clear golden yellow with off-white head. Aromas of sweet apples. Tastes like sweet sugary apples. Light body with a dry finish. Solid if you’re looking for a cider on the sweeter side.

8 oz pour on draft at Ornery shared by DCLawyer, thanks Jason! Clear pale yellow with off-white ring. Aromas of honeydew, honey, stone fruit, cantaloupe, apples. Tastes of apples and champagne. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Nice aroma but tastes pretty much like an ordinary cider.

Served hot at Bold Rock 12/5/15. Now this is a cider I like. Taste is raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple. Delicious. I bet it’d be great chilled too.

On tap at Bold Rock. Apple, of course. To me nothing memorable, and after awhile all of these ciders taste very similar.

On tap at Bold Rock. Taste is apples, light dirt/earth/dust. Dry, drinkable but not memorable (to me).
