Can drank in Natchez - picked up at Shenanigans in Lexington. Pours clear, pale yellow with a slender, white cream head. The nose holds tangy peach and lemon. Light sweet flavour with mellow acidity, crispy tart peach, more lemon, a little salty sweat. Light bodied with spritzy carbonation. Clean and refreshing on the finish, with more tart lemon and peach, some dry salty bite. Fairly straightforward, really clean, and drinkable.

Sample during at Daily Growler Powell during the "5th Friday $5 Fest" on 04/29/2016. Brownish-amber color with a medium light beige head that diminishes slowly to a dense film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Earthy malt, caramel and fruit in the nose. Medium body with flavors of caramel malt, fruit and slight earthy hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sample at Daily Growler Powell during the "Cupzilla Korean BBQ & Double IPA Showcase" on 04/01/2016. Impossible not to think of Tommy Boy. The beer pours a clear orange-gold color with a medium white head that evaporates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of fruit, hops and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of piney hops, citrus and malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short resiny hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draught at Lulu’s on 3/27/16 and again at Row 34 on 4/8/16.
A slightly chill-hazed golden beer with a hint of copper and a small ring of bubbles initially.
For anyone keeping track at home, I don’t actually order all of these ciders that I rate. That is, in fact, my girlfriend always ordering them at beer bars (since she hasn’t taken to the sour and hoppy stuff yet) and me having a few sips. What to say about this one? Not much, really. Just like every other god damned commercial cider out there, it’s fizzy, too sweet (though not horribly so) and just vaguely apple-y with no real definitive character and nothing to set it apart from the literal thousands of other offerings.
What the hell is going on with this massive exponentially growing cider market? It seems people just can not get enough of boring, mediocre, ubiquitous, cookie-cutter microbrewed and often macrobrewed ciders. To their credit, they’re a hell of a step up from Strongbow and the likes, but still leave so, so much to be desired. Seems like everyone and their mom had the idea to start a cidery since they are relatively easier to make and require less knowledge and specialization than making beer. Oh well, hopefully we start to see some more small batch, actual farmhouse or farmhouse-style version emerge. As it is now, most or all of the "farmhouse-style" ciders I’ve had from US producers are really not that at all.
