Can. 4.9% ABV. Pours a crystal clear very light straw yellow color with a small white head and poor retention. No lacing. Dry apple aroma. Semi-sweet and pretty tart apple flavor with a dry finish. Too tart and dry for my liking. Top 50?? I think not.

12 ounce can from Total Wine Brookfield, 3/8/19. Murky orange, thin fizzy white head, good retention. Aroma of orange juice with a hint of sweet apple. Taste is papaya, orange, sweet apple. Thin. It's juice, barely resembling cider, but decent.

Fuck no idea this was a juice cocktail blah. Orange juice and light apple. Orange juice dominates but light apple cider in background. If you want juice go for it.

Pours clear dark red. It smells of berries and apples. The flavor is kind of sweet but not overly so. There's some tartness with apples, berries, and minimal oak. Fairly good.

Bottle split at CBC Holborn, thanks to Daniel, 29/08/18. Raspberry red with a faded crimson cap. Nose is faint apple, red berry skins, straw. Taste comprises sweet red berries, watery blackcurrant and apple squash, perfumed notes, light hedgerow. Medium bodied, lively carbonation, semi drying close.
