Rounding out my exploration of this cidery I procured a six pack of 355ml cans, on sale no less. This pours an incredibly girly light pink body with fast disappearing foam and huge soda pop bubbles. The aroma is literally cotton candy - bully for those looking for something like that but the sugar is extreme and also extremely fake. Gives me some slurpee memories from my childhood, sans the seven percent alcohol present here. Flavour is much the same, lots of fake sugary berry but not necessarily bad if you're okay with alco-pop. Mouthfeel is reasonably dry though all that sugar lingers but all that sugar also hides the alcohol pretty well. I'd be hard pressed (pardon the pun) to call this a cider, instead I'd more call it one of those fruit coolers you see around... and indeed is stocked as such in the same shelves as them.

2 litre massive orange plastic bottle from a local liquor store, found on the bottom shelf in the fridge. Pours like soda pop, has a light clear peach body, foam gone fast, heavy carbonation. The smell is sweet peach soda but there's nothing untoward there. Flavour is heavy peach juice, some residual sweetness and peach skin and a slightly bitter finish. Alcohol is reasonably well hidden and honestly I can't detect any apple even though this is called cider. If you want alcoholized peach soda this would work well. If not, well..... --- Beer aliased from original tick of Fuzzy Peach (Stonefruit) on 30 Apr 2020 at 23:29 - Score: Appearance - 2 | Aroma - 3 | Flavor - 4 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 4.5.

Pours like soda pop, huge bubbles and foam disappears very fast. Chilled it smells strongly of sweet fake apple soda, no alcohol present though. Flavour is much the same, very sweet fake apple but the alcohol is reasonably well hidden. No lingering weird boozy aftertaste. Certainly not a sophisticated alco-pop drink but will work for backyard parties where there is plenty of ice.

2 litre plastic bottle found at a local liquor store - yes, I'm running out of new stuff to try, and these monster cheap ciders on the bottom shelf have been staring at me for some time. Pours a very light whiteish gold body, heavy carbonation, modest foam that disappears fast; very much like soda pop. The aroma is some fake sugary pear mixed with floor varnish. Flavour is mucky pear with a bitter acetyl aftertaste. Carbonation isn't present either despite how heavy it looks in the glass. The alcohol really starts to flutter up after a little bit. Oh, and this thing was chilled. This is coming off as only slightly more palatable than gasoline mixed with pear juice, there are a load of imperfections that can be noticed and there's no way in Valhalla I'll be able to drink this whole 2 litre plastic thing.
