Bottle: Dark, amber-red with a thin, pinkish head. Cherry, apple scent. Taste is almost tart.....crushed cherries, red apple,,,not even a hint of alcohol. Tastes perfectly natural, like they just juiced it up in front of right in the field.... Good Stuff.

Sample at Crafted & Cured. Clear ruby-amber color with a medium thin off-white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. The aroma consists of apples, cherries and spice. Medium body with flavors of green apple, tart cherry and spice. The finish is semi-dry and fruity with cherry aftertaste. Decent overall.

This is semi-dry. Very clean and refreshing. There isn’t a lot going on with the flavor, more at understated. Super easy drinking. Nice body.

I wouldn’t say that this is a semi-dry cider, but a dry. Doesn’t have a lot of flavor. Body is so - so. Aroma is on the spicy side.

Draft. Gin, yeast, and light apple aroma. Pale yellow. Moderately sweet gin and apple juice flavor with lightly bitter dry hay finish. Good body. Interesting - the gin dominates but still with nice apple flavor.

Damn nice! Tart/lightly sweet apples; balanced tannic berries; light earthy spice. Tart/tannic/semidry finish. Med carb. Highly refreshing.
