Heavy on the mint. Refreshing, but could be a bit more balanced I think.

Crystal clear coloured golden coloured body, with no head at all of course. Aroma of deep canella, light allspice, a bunch of pumpkin pie spice, hints of clove with a zillion apples and pure caster sugar - very sweet and appley throughout in the nose and very strong, especially for a cider. Light-bodied; Strong canella, allspice, coriander seed and very pungent spices with a bunch of pure caster sugar and very sweet notes right behind, but apples and even some slightly more mealy pears are noticeable along with a dry yeast and breadiness that is noticeable towards the very end. Aftertaste is deep, super robust, quite sweet with some lightly fried dough notes that are somehow noticeable, but the spices remain key, along with a lot of pungent unfinished sugar notes that make this one sweet, very robust and very enjoyable, especially for a cider. Overall, a very good example of how to make a cider right - bunches of spices, good apples, some dry notes and a touch of fresh coriander seed and yeast towards the very end that just add to the complexity. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Springfield, Virginia on 20-October-2019 for US$3,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 26-May-2020 when there probably won't be any more chilly days for the rest of the season. While I went to school in Cider Donut Country and married someone from that area, I'm a huge fan of the treat in fall, but somehow perhaps a bigger fan of this cider!

Pint can TWSP. Gold, reddish highlights, dusting of a white head. Fresh raspberry, apple aroma. Raspberry - both tart and sweet, apple. Raspberry dominates the apple but the balance is actually nice. Neither too sweet nor too tart.

Bottle from the local Dollar Tree. Pours closer to perry color than to gold - sort of a color blend. White bubbles. Dry green appleskin aroma. Med body, not quite. Flavor is lightly tart green appleskin. Tho it could be a mix of green and gold. Dry it is. Drinkable.

Bottle from the lcoal Dollar Tree. Pours sort of light gold/sort of perry color. White bubbles. Smells like fresh golden apples. Med body almost. It is lightly tart and rather sweet. Golden appleskin flavor. On some quaffs it makes me think dry. But it's not.
