5.6/10 β€” Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
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. :)

Bomber poured into a shaker. Pours clear and very pale with no head. Looks almost like a white wine. Aroma of crisp green apples, green apple jolly ranchers and just a slight hint of vanilla. Taste is tart and lightly sweet. Green apples start with some motts apple juice on the end. Just a very slight hint of vanilla at the very end. Light bodied with a thin and surprisingly unsticky texture. Soft, almost flat carbonation and a decently long finish that ends very abruptly. Overall, not bad. Enjoyable and very drinkable, but not worth seeking out.

Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a lightly cloudy gold with no head. Aroma of green and red apples with a little spice. Taste is sweet. Starts with apples but the maple hits me right away. Just a slight hint of spicy belgian yeast in the after taste. Light bodied with a thin texture. Soft carbonation but a decently long finish. Pretty good. A very interesting take on the cider. A whole bomber may be a bit much though. May want to plan on sharing this one.

12 oz bottle from Super 1 in Rathdrum, ID. Pours clear golden with a fleeting white head. Aroma is basic cider, no frills or off-notes. Taste is sweet and tart, finishing dry. Carbonation is fairly soft, thin body. Good and simple.
