Aromas are cider, floral, herbal, and barest hint of raspberry. Flavors are similar to nose, mildly dry and tart with a slight hint of sweet. Again not much raspberry.

Aromas are apple cider plus something a little bit herbal. The slightest hint of basil and/or mint. Flavors are very similar to nose, maybe even less herbal.

Can Liz brought back from Seattle. Pours clear gold with a transient white head. Smooth apple aroma - not a lot of apple skin. Not quite med body. Tart. There comes some apple skin. Heat is not obvious. Gets a bit astringent. Decent cider.

Pint can from Total Wine Vegas somewhere. 10oz glass back at the hotel under renovation-o. Clear, faint pale gold, soda head, boring. Smell is sulfur, bitter skin, minerals, sulfites. I'm not waiting. Taste is bone dry, apple skin, minerally, tart, jumpy acidity, stiff lime, preservatives. Drinks okay, carbonation is strong & pushy, abv is on point. Meh to okay once it airs out.

Light yellow color with a pineapple aroma. Taste is sweet and tart pineapple juice with a typical dry cider finish. Good tropical sweetness underneath.

Sample courtesy of minutemat, cheers Mat! Pale golden colour, white foam head that dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of apple, fruity, some skin & core. Taste is sweet, ripe apple, syrupy, sugary. Medium bodied, light carbonation, medium-sweet finish. OK, abit sugary.

355ml can from National Brewery Centre, Burton on Trent. Pours pale gold. Sweet alcohol nose. Very sweet to taste, quite sugary, with noticeable alcohol, coming across needlessly strong and artificially sweet overall and lacking any form of natural fruit notes. Not great.

Old four pack @Appalachian. How old? Low on options. Pint glass @home. Clear, pale yellow gold, lager-esque. Smell is pretty mute, but comes off somewhat mulch-y, wine-y & medicinal. Aspirin & apple juice cocktail. Lightly tart apples, some skin, an unidentifiable ugly earthen flavor like raw potato, calcium & cheap prosecco/apple essence finish. Backsweetened or just added sugar? Soft but supportive carbonation, low to mellow acid, starchy/yeasty texture, noticeable abv. Okay in a pinch.

Straight apples, some honey notes, not bad sweet refresher.
