Ruddy pink...sweet apple scent is present...but the cranberry over powers it all. Same goes for the taste. Wish it was just a little more balanced. Very tart finish.

500ml bottle shared with Soph at our hotel in Portland, Maine. Bought at a liquor store in Cape Cod. Misty golden yellow appearance. Fruity apple pulp aroma. Good caramelised fruit coming through to taste, additional soft citrussy sweetness with moderate brown sugar in the shadows. Pretty good, expected it to be heavy on the brown sugar, but thankfully it's quite low in the mix.

Pours a nice light, clear ruby from a bottle, originally thought I was poured a glass of cran-apple juice. Light aroma, only very faintly tequila-y which is a shame, it would have been pleasanter with more. Flavor was a bit of a letdown, rather watery, semidry to dry, faint elderberry notes. Okay cider.

500ml bottle brought back from vacation...it has a very delicate apple aroma as it sits a bit more, I get a real nice floral smell kinda like honeysuckle...the brown sugar is really subtle in the sniff and the flavor. I like the dryness of it , decent cider 🙂

Bottle while preparing dinner. Normal clear light golden colored. Nose is floral hops and sweet apple. Tastes of apple skin, some eating apples but not overly sweet, the hops at floral and fruity strawberry and cut through sweetness. Medium bodied. Not overly tart or funky.

Bottle sample. Pink colour, no head and aroma of cranberry, spice, apple. Taste is tart, fleshy apple, with cranberry notes and some cinnamon spice hints. Slick mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, very dry tart finish. Quite drinkable.

Pours a light almost pale gold from a bottle, crisp sweet apple aroma and flavor ends with a nice, well-balanced whiskey note. Okay cider.

Pours a faint light golden straw from a bottle, very clear, some faint bubbles quickly dissipate. Aroma is of a faintly oxidized apple, not picking up on honey. Flavor is thin, more sweet than I'd expect for a semi-sweet cider, tastes somewhat bilious . Thin, watery. Has an almost sour aftertaste. Not good.

Pours a clear crimson from a bottle. Aroma is somewhat nail polish remover-y, but also more of a cranberry juice. Flavor is a light cranberry juice cocktail, somewhat tart. Okay cider.

Pours a hazy gold from a tap. Sweet fresh apple aroma, similar flavor but thin and washed out. Okay cider.
