Can sampled at BC Cider Fest 2023, pours a clear colour with a small white head. Aroma brings out a touch of grape skins, some orange peel and mineraly notes. Flavour is fairly muted on the adjuncts, bringing out minerally apple skins and not much else. Bright and crisp but not really showcasing the grape or orange much. Fine.

Poured from the tap. Clear blonde with no head. Super sweet green apple candy. Sweet, but garbage.

Poured from the tap. Clear copper with no head. Artificial cherry sweetener and not much else.

It actually has a very nice rosé colour and modest foam, though does look a little fake and sweet. The aroma is more fruity sweetness, fake sugary berries for sure, some soft apple notes. Flavour is very much sangria, lots of muddled fruit in there but layered and with a bit of acidic apple to pull it together. Good tannins on the finish. Surprisingly all right, so long as you like sangria.

Boring clear gold body, small carbonation, no foam. The aroma is slightly septic, detergent just almost, hints of hops and cinnamon for sure and definitely sweet apple. Flavour is modest apple pie and cinnamon, filling mouthfeel, good carbonation. Slightly clunky but still a good approach to a spiced cider, if a little sweet and simplistic.

Nice medium gold body, strong carbonation, little foam, continuing that soda pop vibe of other Wards ciders. Nice earthy hops on the nose with some sharp apple notes, hints of musty burlap. Flavour is very subdued hoppiness and subtle apple. Full mouthfeel, easy to drink. Simple but decent enough.

Has a nice light gold body and heavy soda carbonation, minimal foam. The aroma is sugary chewy apples, hints of vanilla, green grocery store apples but still coming off mostly fresh and not really fake. Flavour is mellow apple, candy gummy bear sort of vibe, still sweet and dessertish but nothing excessive. Full mouthfeel, okay carbonation. In the land of unsophisticated backyard ciders this would work well, but be aware of what you're going into.

Pours a light yellow heavy carbonation and fast gone foam. The aroma is all sweet and fake apple. Flavour is more fake apple with vague floral notes. Full enough mouthfeel, modest skin going on there to temper back the sweetness. Otherwise a pretty average macro cider.

Clear yellow with no foam, sweet apple and ginger on the nose though simplistic. Flavour is straight ahead sweet ginger with sugary apple lingering. A rather meh cider, will work on a hot summer while you're mowing the lawn.

Draught at the brewery
Bright red colour, clean. I have to give it that it tastes a bit like young red wine, but also I'd like my sangria sweeter and more fruity, and cheaper than BC cider.
Ok drink.
