Can/Fest. A- Cherry, rhubarb. A- Pink orange color clear liquid, no head. T- Cherry, mild rhubarb. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Nice. This tasted like juice but it was subtle too. Cherry is the start backed up by a little tart fresh rhubarb. This was nice. Might be my new favorite cidery that popped up out of nowhere.

Can. A- Funk, apples. A- Pale yellow color, clear liquid, no head, T- Funk, barnyard, apple. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, funky finish. O- No maple at all. Lots of funk. I'm not sure if this was some unique cider or if it was simply off because it wasn't terrible, but nothing like I expected.

16 oz can from HyVee of Spencer, while watching the Field of Dreams Game. Nice, slightly sweet cherry in the nose. Fizzy pour with a soda-pop head that's gone in seconds. Sweet apple cider taste with cherries in equal measure. Dry tartness is likely what the rhubarb adds. Great summer drink. Makes me wonder if there's a rhubarb-cherry limeade out there.
