Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home on that last Friday before the holidays, where things slow down pretty quickly. I'm not a huge cider guy, this one is decent. Appearance is a very carbonated clear gold with a thin white bubbly head. Aroma of sweet apples. Taste finishes dry, light tart, sweet, apples. It's decent stuff, nothing is blowing me away about this one. The can is pretty though.

16 oz can poured. Pours an almost clear pear color with hints of sour apple aroma. Flavor is initially sweet, a ton of fresh apple flavor, and tastes non alcoholic. Very juicy, and the simplest of drinks. Nothing about this is bad in my opinion, but I’m not going all in on this either. It tastes good. I’ll drink again one day.

Draught at The Local, Bellingham, as Seattle Honey Hard Cider
Pale blond color. Weird cider, it has a strong component and chemicals, with lightly flowery trace; dry. It’s also weak, and fairly acidic. Flowery.
Has potential, but for the moment it’s messy.

Alright, fine Arianna. We shared a Growler of this from Breeze-IN, Juneau.
I had mine in a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt golden color with a good transparency about it and a vast amount of carbonated bubbles rising at a rapid pace.
The smell was tart apples coming through in a vinous sort of dry way.
The taste was tart and dry. The apples were still there.
On the palate, this sat fairly light and somewhat sessionable but just too dry for me.
Overall, holy dry cider - batman! Glad I didn’t pay for it. Another woman trying to make me try more vinous alcoholic drinks - ha, I scoff at you. Ain’t gonna happen and nor would I have this again.

Okay, before there was beer in my life there was Gin. I still am a little bit of a Gin guy.
Here goes.
Only one can of this and I opted for the wine glass.
The appearance was a yellow color with a bubbly carbonation surfacing into a fizzy bubbly head.
The smell started off with some apples in a vinous sort of way but after a bit of warming more of a dry spritzy grassy and refreshing sort of aspect arrives in a decent fashion.
The taste was mainly sweet and vinous with a distracting amount of what isn’t gin to me but that grassy spritzy dried fruit context. There’s a super dry apple/peach aftertaste with the same finish.
On the palate, it hits my tongue pretty harsh and dry.
Overall, I never really get the \"gin botanicals\" in this cider so to me this is just another cider with a light peach flavoring in the taste.

Poured into a pint glass and a wine glass.
In both glasses, there was a semi - hazy golden orange to yellow color with a decent transparency about it. A vast array of carbonated bubbles were seen rising to fill a rapidly dieing bubbly head.
The smell and the taste was dried apples with a slight tart aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat fairly light and had a light vinous quality about it.
Overall, as expected by every cider I try - they’re all the same.

On tap at Airways, pours a clear yellowy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is quite unique, with notes of wild honey, a touch of grassiness. Flavour is along the same lines, with honey, light citric notes, and grassiness. Really well-balanced and drinkable. Quite complex as well for a cider. Very enjoyable stuff.

On tap @ Bad Jimmy’s during 7/5/2014 Seattle beer tour. Pours a bit pale yellow appearance with a thin white head. Aroma is full of apple juice and juicy fruits. Not very complex noise. The flavor is lightly tart, red apple, and a bit pulpy. Pretty easy drinking but just about as simple as a cider can be.

Draught at Flyers Restaurant & Brewery, Oak Harbor
The color is almost transparent, water with light yellow shade. Some green apple aroma. Semi dry, with light apple flavor and mild acidity, it reminds me of a schörle (mix of apple juice and carbonated water). Not bad, but pretty useless.

Can. Green apple aroma. Decent cider, although a little on the bland side. Long sour apple flavor and finish. Goes down very nice and easy. Sweet. I can enjoy this.
