Mostly clear light reddish purple color. Smells of apples and blueberries as expected. It tastes very sweet. Blueberries come through okay and the apples of course, but while not bad, it’s too sugary sweet for me.

Pours hazy pale yellow green with a small white head. It smells of tart green apples. The flavor is of tart apples. It comes off as slightly citrusy and definitely on the dry side. Tasty. Made with crabapples, this is a very good cider.

Pours pale green with no head. Peach dominates the aroma. The flavor blends apple and peach pretty well. It’s sweet but not too over the top on that. Quite bubbly.

Pale yellow green pour. This one smells of apples and a musty, earthy smell. The flavor is sweet with the apples and pineapples both there. It’s pretty sweet. Alright.

Pours clear rose gold. There’s a mild ginger aroma. The flavor is led by the ginger, then honey, with some apple underlying it adding a bit of tartness. Interesting and tasty.

Pours mostly clear, deep gold. This has a strong caramel aroma. The flavor is very sweet. Very. To be fair it’s named for candy. Lots of caramel and some apple. This is a dessert beverage. It’s alright, but too sweet for me.

Pours pale yellow green and has a mild floral, apple aroma. The flavor is overwhelmingly, sugary sweet. There’s some apple, but this doesn’t work for me. There’s way too much sugar. That 13% abv is certainly buried. Maybe some batches have been better, but this one is a rather unpalatable sugar bomb to me.

The bottle from the cidery simply said “ice cider”. If I remember correctly it’s a lower abv now though (12 or 13%). It pours clear gold and has a rich apple aroma. The flavor is very sweet with intense apple and some sugar. It’s borderline syrupy. While quite drinkable as a dessert, half the bottle was plenty and it doesn’t manage the buttery smoothness that makes the best ice cider go down so well despite being very sweet. It’s still good, but probably best in limited quantities.

Light gold pour with a small head. Smells strongly of cloves with some apple. The flavor is quite spicy. It’s moderately sweet. Apples of course. Nutmeg and clove. The finish has a slight off flavor but it’s fairly good overall. The canned version we got is not as good. To me there’s more of that off flavor, especially on the finish. My wife disagrees and still likes it a lot so YMMV. Rating is for the one I had at McClure’s.

Pale gold pour. It has a light honey aroma. The flavor is fairly dry with some light honey sweetness, a hint of spice, and a clean finish.
