So this geist spirit thing is riding the wave all the way till it crashes and then it will end. Brand new brews with different names but many are re-pops and others are just rebranded, so many of the same thing, so many different names. It pours from a $1 can like a pale lager with no head. Not many bubblies visibly but there is a good amount of co2 on the palate. You know, this is a little drier and much less sweet than I thought it would be. I appreciate it aint one of those unfermented other domestic sugar bombs that come across way too sweet. This stuff remains a decent american cider with just a tad of apple and the rest seems to be good-fermented wisdom. Kindah approaches the dryness of those real ciders from the old country. Yes, more pleasant and less alarming than a cider soda pop. The nose on this is mellow as well, nice mild fruity apple perfume olfactory of slight apple nose. Not bad, easier to drink than expected, HaH, after I complained too. That's I get for commenting before the session. One of the better unflavored ciders I've had in a while.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a hazy gold color with a white head and good retention. Only a few spots of lacing. Faint hops aroma. A good flavor mix of malt and mellow juicy hops. Low bitterness for 40 IBU. Medium-light body. Below average carbonation for the style. Better than I expected.

16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a hazy pale gold color with a white head and fair retention. A few spots of lacing. As expected, passion fruit/ citrus aroma. The flavor is pineapple-dominant with minor passion fruit notes, and a dry finish. Very tart flavor. Not much beer flavor. Light body. Good carbonation. No bitterness. Drinks like a cider. Thirst quenching, but a bit too tart for my palate.

OK, a bunch of these numbered cloud harvest, what a rip off but OK for a tick. Hazy pale with a big rocky foamy head. Nose is a little fruity, lacks that bitter hop perfume olfactory. Taste is the same as any other IPA out there and there are a billion of them. My palate is not mature enough to tell the difference between these numbered versions of RG cloud harvest, I've done a few and they all pretty much taste the same. Go figger. Mouth coating bitter ass terribly on style bullshit. There you have it. Cud use a couple more ABV points to help me forget how bitter this stuff is. Not impressed but hey, got it off teh dollar bargain rack, just surprised I didn't tick this one yet.

On tap at Copper & Flame, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out cinnamon, vanilla, lactose and bready malt. Flavour is spicy, with plenty of cinnamon and vanilla upfront, balanced by the lactose and some bready malt. Too spice-driven and sweet for me, but it's not too bad.
