650 ml bottle. Pours a watery straw color with no head. Aromas of sweet lemonade, sour grapes, and green apples. Flavors of sweet applesauce and light citrus. Possibly too sweet; there are underlying cidery notes but tartness is missing. Incredibly easy to drink.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours hazy gold with no head. Aroma is firmly ginger. Med body! Flavor is ginger iwth a hint of cider. With time the cider makes a mild come back - and it becomes less than dry, but the ginger never stops. Mildly sweet, but with ginger, finish.

Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours perry color. Aroma is grapefruit rind, but not strongly so. Med body or nearly. Flavor is grapefruit and cider, but it’s slightly sour and a lot astringent. Yet it seems sweet. This is a rather different (in a very good way) drink. Making me think of grapefruit radler. How weird is that?

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Cloudy pale yellow color with orange hue, and no head. Against expectations, it also has some light herbs aroma and flavor; it’s a bit citrusy (lime), some pink grapefruit, some agave; very light residual sweetness; mild acidity.
Nice; reminds of a Tequila Sunrise.

Yellow color with frothy head, small. Mild aroma of apple juice and lemon, sourish. Dry mouthfeel, lean, mildly acidic, with very light apple flavor, and timid tannins in the final. Thirst quenching, but not much depth. The apple profile is too simple.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear pale golden with no head. Aroma is very dry, with leather and dry citrus skins. Flavour is certainly nowhere near as dry, with medium - apples and moderate residual sweetness. Very nice body, with a perfect amount of sweetness. Very enjoyable stuff.
