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.

Can - Apple and some nice rich vanilla notes. Clear pale gold with a small white head. Vanilla and light apple with a pleasant sweet finish. Nice.

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.

Enjoyed at Locust, poured from a mini bartop barrel. Very cool! I've never been so intrigued by a cider. Golden orange pour, clean. Aroma is full of apple cinnamon. Very inviting. How smooth is this going to be for a 13% cider? Flavor reminds me of an apple fritter, only soaked in delicious bourbon. Cinnamon heavy. Baked apple pie, spiced. A great sipper here. Never had anything like this before. A treat for sure.

Draft pour at Locust. Very light, clean and clear. Transparent. Aroma is true to the vanilla tag. Very cream soda heavy on the flavor. Takes over the apple. Like a less carbonated cream soda. Flavorful and refreshing. Unique and fun offering. Tasty stuff.

Tap. Pours lightly hazy straw, no carbonation present. Aroma is mint and lime juice. Flavor is mint and raw lime juice on top of hints of apple. Medium sweet, not bitterness, no real tartness. Fruit drink.
