16 oz can from Total Wine. Pours a clear pale yellow color with a small white head and fair retention. No lacing. Sweet pumpkin spices aroma. Tart green apple flavor up front, with some light pumpkin pie spices in the finish. I think there's more pumpkin pie aroma than actual flavor. Almost perfume-like. An interesting mix, but not worth repeating. Thin body, like most ciders. Light carbonation. Not bitter.

On tap at Cigar City Cider & Mead, pours a clear amber, no head. Aroma is pretty soft, with light oak, gentle vanilla and a hint of cherry. Flavour is very sweet but lacking complexity totally, with tart cherry, light vanilla and honey. Lots of sugars and flavour but not integrated well or with much complexity. Underwhelming.

On tap at Cigar City Cider & Mead, pours a deep dark mahogany, no head. Aroma has plenty of hibiscus and cherry upfront, with plenty of booze in there. Flavour is rich, with ligitly tart cherries, syrupy notes, and gentle hibiscus. Lacking flavour depth and complexity but it's balanced reasonably well. Decent.

On tap at Cigar City Cider & Mead, pours an opaque orange, no head. Aroma has grapefruit pith, some passionfruit, and subdued honey. Flavour is highly bitter, with intense grapefruit pith that dominates. Lacking depth and complexity but pleasant enough. Meh.

On tap at Cigar City Cider & Mead, pours a clear amber, no head. Nose is full of strawberry and lactose. Flavour in simple, with light strawberry that dominates. Oaky and harsh but it's alright.

On tap at Cigar City Cider & Mead, pours a clear pale amber. Aroma has blueberry and floral honey. Flavour is lightly tart, with blueberry, floral notes, and booze. Very light on the palate despite the aggressive ABV. Solid.

A desperate rate from a desperate ticker. Crispy, active, lacy, medium gold. Kinda pretty if lacking in color. Honey oat breakfast cereal & some artificial floral blueberry nose. Deep blueberry muffin feels. Lingering artificial flavor. Apple coffee cake. Tastes like every bad fake-flavored blueberry muffin I've ever had with a little more acid. Crispy & thin but I can't stand it. Sending it back. This is nauseating & embarrassing for everyone involved.

Saw this on tap at Celebration & just had to get it over with. Crispy clear, frothy, active medium gold. A little too pretty for a cider. Frosted breakfast pastry nose. Sugary confection, strawberry swirl cake, apple coffee cake. Super artificial. At least it's thin n crispy.
