bottle, rated in June 2017 - Pleasant apple aroma. It has a tasty, full apple flavor that's sweet but not too sweet. Nice.

bottle - Red pour, aroma of apples and cherries. Flavor is sweet but not overwhelmingly so, and the apple and cherry elements come together quite well. Good cider.

Poured from a bottle into a stang. My bottle says octorock semi-sweet hard cider and its got an abv of 4.9%, so I hope this is the right place. Barely any smell, but what nose it has is mild fruit perfume. The eye is fine bubbling streams to the top of a pale brew. Pretty good bubbly flavor that really starts to grow on you. Very refreshing and well behaved. A little warming sensation, just a tad. Easy, lacks any of those negative attitudes so prevalent in my home cider. Smoother easy bubbling fruity stuff, almost yummy.

On tap at Hopcat A2. Pours a clear yellow with a white head that dissipates nearly completely. Aroma has a combination of sweet apple and dry red wine. Flavor is similar with dry red wine and growing sweet apple.

12 ounce bottle from Shorts. Hazy dark purple, thin fizzy head that quickly fades. Aroma of dark berries and apples, dry and tannic. The taste is dry tannic apples, pepper, tart berries. Medium bodied, lingering tartness. Solid.

Draft: Slightly hazy deep red, minimal ring..... Mixed berries and apple aroma. Sweet, almost sticky raspberry, blackberry, cherry, apple flavour. The description doesn’t lie....this one is packed full of seemingly everything, berry-wise. Really good.
