12 oz can from John's Grocery. Lightly fizzy, with a light apple cider pour. Chili seasoning is barely detectable in the nose. Just a somewhat vague apple note. Taste starts out with apple cider, then there is a note of mango before the spice takes over and starts a burn. Instead of a single chili like a habanero, it's more of an Old Bay seasoning mix. But the heat stays behind on the back of my palate. I like it as a chili head, but this time I wish the apple taste was a little stronger.

Keg at Toppling Goliath. Listed only as "Wilsons Cider" but this seems to be the one commonly in distribution. Clear pale golden, thin fizzy tan head, poor retention. Aroma of dry apples, earth and mild pepper. Taste matches but with a sweet finish. Medium bodied, mild lingering tartness. Solid.
