AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Syd (921) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - AUG 31, 2004The Cider pours a golden color with good carbonation. The aroma is mild and slightly grassy/earthy (?). The flavor tastes like apples and that slightly grassy/earthy thing I identified in the aroma. In addition, I detect some sort of spice or something. The palate is very fizzy. This is my first Cider rate and I have no idea what to look for. Overall, I can drink this!
