On-tap at the Ace in-the-hole Pub in Sebastopol. Pours clearish green yellow, no head. Smells of faint apples. Tastes appley and slight rotten. Dry, thin body, fizzy carbonation.

I am not going to go into further detail about the flavor profile of this cider. All I have to say is that it’s an amazing cheap and tasty alternative to white or sparkling wine (or even other ciders). Nice and dry, yet still very fruity, 8%, and it costs less than $4 a bomber. It may not compare to world-class BEER but if you can call what La Face Cachee de la Pomme does "cider," Ace Joker doesn’t deserve to be kicked around as much as it has been here.

almost crystal clear with a high fizzy carbonation taste. its got an extremely dry taste with very little of what was once apples. Almost like a Champagne. It doesnt taste like it has 8% and that’s a good thing

The aroma is super light with apples and pears even though I am sure there is no pears in it. The appearance is yellow clear. The flavor has apples, pears, and watermelon with a dryness that defies what is possible with cider. The palate is is watery. Overall it grows on you I didn’t like it at all then I started to enjoy it quite a bit but there is no way it has 8% alcohol.
