This is my first cider rating, and I’ve only had French ciders from Brittany. Aroma is strong and tart, appearance is hazy golden, no foam or carbonation (poured into bowl). Pour becomes more cloudy as you near the bottom of the bottle. No evidence of high ABV. Taste is apple juice, pure and simple, with some spice and floral elements in the finish. This is really enjoyable, especially on a nice fall day.

Refrigerated 16 oz. aluminum can poured into a white wine glass. Pours slightly hazy golden with medium white head which dissipates quickly. Nice sweet apple aroma, medium body, no carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is nice semi-sweet apple, some brett as it warms, with a dry finish.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear, very pale gold with no head. Looks like white wine, almost clear. Aroma of green apple jolly ranchers, red apple peel, and a little honey. Light tart. Tastes like biting into a watered down green apple. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. Acutally, suprisingly good for a "light" cider.

22oz bomber poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark amber with almost no head. Aroma of apples, caramel and brown sugar. Taste is heavily sweet. Apples with molasses and brown sugar. Full bodied with a thick sticky texture. Soft carbonation and a very long finish. Overall, very good. Pretty sure I could drink this everyday.

Crisp apple and applesauce nose. Milky yellow, moderate effervescence. Dry, somewhat tart. Very clean, lacks character. Good, but fails to warrant premium pricing.

Can. Pours clear pale golden with airy white head. Clear aroma of apple’s with a spicy note. Mild, sweet flavour of apple’s and spices. Mild finish. Nothing special but drinkable.

Box o’ booze from Tri-Boro Bev. Pint glass. Pino grigio. Silent.
Smells like muscato. Perry, flowery honey, apple skin/stems, white wine.
Soft, mild, otherwise unspecific boxed apple juice flavor. Seedy/Stemmy bitterness. Light powdered sugar sweetness. Besides a short lived sputter of acidity, it honestly tastes diluted. Thin, tacky.
Reminds me of communion wine.

Refrigerated brown bomber poured into a white wine glass. Pours hazy super pale with no head. Aroma is really light apple, medium body, medium carbonation, and really soft. Taste is light apple. Too plain.

Pours hazy gold into a snifter. Apple, oak and honey aromas. Dry with sweet/sour apple upfront turning to oak and vanilla before returning to apple cobbler in the medium length hot finish.

Sweaty $6 bottle from New Beer Distributors. Pint glass. Gave it a nice swirl before pouring.
Creamy orange/grapefruit sort of body. Just a whimper of carbonation hiding underneath.
An appetizing apple/peach/banana punch scent, along with a starchy plain donut sort of smell.
Taste focuses more on peaches & mushy eating apples. Some lemon sourness. Yeasty spice, & a hardy amount of soda sweetness. Not much tartness. Very punch-like.
Very chalky texture. Light aspirin. Just a prick of acidic carbonation.
Surprisingly tasty. I can’t detect any of that industrial "Woodchuck-esque" runoff you sometimes get with these. Tough little yeasties. Cheers. :)
