Tap @ Seattle Beer Co, Seattle. Pours clear pale golden yellow. Sweet nose. Very dry, clean, lightly sweet character overall, a little sticky and tart. Ok lightweight sweet cider.

355ml can from Trader Joes, Seattle. Pours clear gold. Sweet, syrupy brown sugar and treacle on the nose. Taste is just way too sweet, the brown sugar and dates just aren't welcome, masking whatever apple fruit there originally was. Some dark honey notes. Pains me to see apples wasted to make something like this. Not great at all.

Draft pour, enjoyed in the sun at Hop and Hound. Does anything sound more refreshing than a watermelon cider while outdoor drinkin? Am I trying to set a record for most consecutive rates using the term "outdoor drinkin"? Perhaps, but the point is clear. A slight cloudy pale gold pour. Plenty of fresh watermelon character, a touch of vinegar. Aroma matches. Fresh up front, but a bit of a candy linger. Tasty cider.

Draft pour at Locust. Pale yellow pour, soft haze. A ton of cinnamon to this. So much in the flavor it makes you want to cough. Maybe too much? It is what they say it is, so I can't complain. Snickerdoodle aroma. Cinnamon and apple Jack's on the flavor, with that spice filled finish. A fun and unique experience with this one.

Draft pour at Locust. Pinkish orange pour, and clean. A nice mix of tart mixed berries and apple aroma. Some fresh red raspberry flavor, which actually exceeds the apple. A bit winish as well, late. Good flavor. Tasty cider.

Draft pour at Locust Cider. A mostly clean pale pour. Green apple reminding cider. Juicy apples. Slightly tart, but wouldn't exactly advertise it as a sour cider. Lingering slight tart apple. Good flavor as an overall. Good stuff.
