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.

Apple skins, granny smith apples, sour apple jolly ranchers. Pours clear with a slight yellow tint. Sweet and sour apples, apple skin, dry, very wine like, pinot grigio. Very different from most ciders i’ve had. Just slightly sparkling.

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.

Pours clear pale yellow. almost like a white wine, but with a small little bubbly white head. I smell cantelope, some mild sour apples, and spices. Mild acidity, more fruity than sour. Nice balance to it and seems to be very refreshing. The sour apple comes out more in the flavor than in the aroma. Swet little tart finish, that left a sour apple taste on the palate in the aftertaste. Pretty good cider.

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.
