From a can pour is very clear very light pale yellow. Nose is apple farm and tart, mouth watering. Nice fresh initial flavor, very good level of carbonation too! Goes down easy, fun stuff. Quite dry, I'm liking this. Friendly, without any of that common sugary sensations you get with many domestic ciders. I like that its absent of other fruits too. Just a simple good old decent lovely example of a basic cider. Thanks VH!

Perfectly clear, very light golden coloured body with a non-existent head that goes down faster than it popped up, but at least shows a ton of very large-bubble effervescence. Aroma of soft, dry apples with some more spiced elements, a bit of coffee or toasted grain element and a large pear component, but the main scent here is the dry apples of course. Ultra light-bodied; Strong dry apple flavours stand out here with only a tiny dose of sweetness and a very light spicey quality without much else, aside from a dose of pears. Aftertaste is very crisp, very easy-drinking and completely simplistic with a dry, grassy and hay-like profile with only the light spice notes around, and a dash of sweetness from honey in the end. Overall, a nice, dry and slightly sweet cider that doesn't have any complexities at all, but nice enough from Grand Rapids, but sampled back here in Washington. Glad to sample this one after my Red Wings beat the [local] Capitals earlier in the week. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Meijer [grocery] in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan on 05-August-2021 for US$1,79 sampled at my house here in Washington on 29-October-2021.
