Bottle from Santa. Pale golden champagne color with champagny bubbles and a mild frothy white head. Aroma is Granny Smith apple, some pear, white wine grapes. Tastes very tart, starting like a chardonnay then seemingly becoming more champagny, with some arthy notes. There is definitely a flavor delth in this, and although I prefer hard ciders with more sweetness, perhaps we can go ahead and call this one the gueuze of hard ciders.

does not count  Aug 11, 2008 On Tap at Barley and Hops Tavern. Pours almost clear, no head. Aroma of ... nondescript apple/pear/tartness. Dry and alcohol level is well disguised. My favorite of CCC’s ciders, but not something I drink regularly.

Mar 28, 2008 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.

Jan 31, 2008 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
