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.

Apple cider aroma with addition of pumpkin pie spices. Taste is sweet cider with pumpkin pie, cinnamon, nutmeg. Alcohol finish with a little funky flavor. Nice winter cider.

Large bottle (2015) with gold wax seal from Rockridge Orchards, Enumclaw, shared with Soph at our log cabin in Mount Rainier National Park. Pours very pale clear yellow, aroma is lightly sweet, clean. Taste presents a clean, moderately sweet commercial perry character, no acidity or rough textures, fairly dry and simplistic, but fine overall
