Pours hazy, pale lemon into a shaker. No head whatsoever. Sour apple and mild sake aromas. Thin and almost still with mild apple and pear from front to back. Dry alcohol free sake-like finish.

12oz bottle poured into a 4oz sample cup. Pours a clear gold with little head. Aroma of sweet red apples. Taste is light sour and light sweet. Lots of sour green apples in the taste and a little honey. Thin bodied, thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and a surprisingly dry finish. Overall, not bad. Glad it was free because I won’t be buying it.

Very, very rubbery apple nose, new volatile rubber. Hazy lime green. Dry, crisp, and exceptionally clean. Slightly acidic and has body, but the flavor is virtually imperceptible. It’s like thick tangy water with the impression of apples. None of the awful phenolics are present on the palate. I expected weird, but not this kind of weird. Weak overall. I really can’t rate this any higher.

Sampled from a 12 oz clear bottle this cider poured a very pale yellow color with a trace off white head that faded almost instantly. The aroma was tangy sour apple with an apple skin note. The flavor was very tangy and moderately tart pears and apples with some sugar underneath. Medium finish and light body. Disappointing.

Sampled from a 12 oz clear bottle this cider poured a very pale yellow-clear color with a medium white seltzer head hat faded very quickly. The aroma was dryish and musty with notes of grape, faint apple and champagne. The flavor was dry and bitter with tart apples and a yeasty undertone. Medium finish and very light body. Overall more like champagne than cider.

Bottle @ home. Very cloudy, whitish yellow appearance with no head. Definitely has that rice syrupy, sake aroma with bread, light apple and pear notes. Tart, light red apple juicy, rice/sake, slight yeast/bread flavor. Interesting enough but I probably wouldn’t buy it again.

Pours pale slightly hazed yellow into a shaker. White head quickly disappears to nothing. Sweet honey, maple and apple aromas. Dry and crisp with sweet syrup upfront turning to mild apple in the medium length finish.

Bottle @ home. Cloudy, light yellowish white appearance like lemonade. Very sweet, light honey, citrusy, apple juicy aroma. Slightly low carbonation compared to other ciders. Quite sweet like apple juice with honey, organic, and citrusy elements. Really like juice but very easy to drink.

Part of a random 6er rate pack from New Beer. Ommegang Anniversary glass. Clear, yellow gold, soda-like carbonation. Smells of pear & green apple candy. "Natural flavors". Very chalky texture. Very carbonated. White sugar, pear, plastic, Mott’s apple juice, tears. Don’t judge Crispin by this slop.

Pours hazy yellow into a shaker. No head whatsoever. Sweet honey and and apple aromas. Dry with funky sour honey and apple core. At least it’s not too sweet.
