Pours light gold into a shaker. Bright white head quickly disappears to hug rim. Apple and mild ginger aromas. Dry with sweet apple and yeast upfront turning to ginger in the medium length finish.

Same base cider it seems, just infused with ginger extract. It’s honestly better, as it hides a lot of ugly crap. Clear, darker orange/yellow active pour. Candied ginger smells sort of floral & warm. Not too soapy or strong, but dominate enough that only a touch of apple candy comes through. Taste is much stronger. Sugary sweet upfront, turning a bit herbal. Never soapy, but it’s missing that oily/zesty bite I usually get from fresh ginger. Ingredients on the bottle state "natural flavors", & I’m uncertain. Yeast & some ugly sulfites manage to squeeze their way through, with some malic acid on the back of the throat. It’s ginger soda with a splash of apple juice. This wasn’t a bad pickup.

At least they let me mix a six. Clear, sparkling, deep orange/yellow body. Smells just like Spanish apple soda. Prickly carbonation. A bit thicker then I would of expected. Tart & snappy upfront, turning into pure white sugar & sour green apple flavoring. Husk & hard water. Chalky yeast. Grainy finish. This is a less diluted version of Woodchuck. The line for underage drinking starts here.

From tap at Jacob Wirth. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is crisp apple fruity, light citrusy and vague sulphorish. Sweet, crisp apples and light citric touch. Sweet lingering apple finish.

Pours clear gold into a Sam glass. White sickly head quickly recedes to bubble rim. Sweet apple aromas. Crisp with sweet apple front to back. Actually pretty good. Tastes just like apples.
