Keg. Yellow, highly carbonated. Poor quality sweet cider with little fruit flavour. Oversweetened.

Can. A - Light fizzy gold color with a tiny white head. S - Sweet apple and some sour apple. T - Same as smell with the addition of a slight tangy citrus too. M - Light body with high carbonation. Fizzy and dry feel. D - Mass produced cider, so it is easy to drink and pretty inoffensive. That said it really doesn’t make me want to grab another. Notes: Similar to other mass produced ciders. A little more sweet than tart/sour. Not a bad cider, but it shouldn’t really be searched for.

(12oz bottle thanks to mar) Pours clear yellow with light bubbles. Nose of tart apple and vinegar. Taste of apple cider vinegar, sugar with a lightly tart watery finish. Really average, but nothing offensive here.

Bottle from BevMo. Pours yellow with little activity as far as carbonation...sweet aroma of wine and orchard...tastes much the same...like a cheap chardonnay...finishes very dry...

Bottle. Pours a crystal clear gold with fast fading fizzy white head. Aroma of apple and cola. Flavor seems pretty simple, just apple and a little watery. Mouth feel seems a bit on the watery side with high carbonation. Overall, just a simple easy drinking cider.

I am no cider drinker, but in Spain I was offered some. Pours clear gold with no head. Aroma of white wine. Flavor is a mix between champaign, wine and apple juice. Lots of carbonation. Sweet and sour finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear straw yellow with wisps of a white head on the edges of the glass. Smells a bit like cooking wine and champagne yeast, with some sweet apple notes in the background. A bit thin, sweet and empty. Just a bit of apple. Sweet finish, more apple notes. Seems like something I would have drank a ton of in college before I knew that ciders could be good.

500 ml can from da lcbo. pours yellow with no head and minimal carbonation. aroma of basically nothing, some slight apple as it warms. the flavour is light and dry, some apple, nothing offensive, slighly tart finish. the palate is clean and the finish is dry. not a bad cider.
