Light amber in color and watery. Sweet crisp apples tickle the nose with a slight trace of alcohol. Flavors of sweet yet lightly tart and crisp. Also of apples that leave a little mild alcoholic bitterness. Slightly sour. Light carb with a clean finish. Overall tasty yet mono-toned (lacks complexity).

Bottle as shown. Pours a clear golden with small frothy white head that quickly diminishes to nothing. The aroma is apple and wheat. Thin mouthfeel with a sour fruit flavor and nice crisp finish. A good cider from Angry Orchard.

On tap. Crisp is absolutely the wrong word for this. Pours with a clear, medium gold hued body with a white ring of foam. Aromas are sweet, sulfur, perfumey, floral, very sweet. Dryish apple character. Medium esters, a touch earthy. Light acid. Flavors are cloying apples, light pear flavor. Relatively clean yeast wise, but REALLY sweet. Some airfreshner notes. Artificial acid flavors that don’t really help the balance too much. Medium bubbles, syrupy sweet. Syrupy and soda like.

Refreshing apple juice aroma. Very light golden brown color with a very small fizzy top. Taste is same as the aroma, with refreshing apple flavor followed by a massivley sweet finish. Overall, this is a very sweet beverage with pleasant apple taste. I’d give this a C rating.

Got a bottle in a mix a six at a super market. I wish I got a full six pack. Smells great, and tastes surprisingly delicious! So good! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for Avengers Phone. ASSEMBLE!

On tap: The aroma consists of sweet and tart apples. It’s a transparent gold with virtually no head. It’s pretty still looking. The flavor is pretty much straight apple juice with a little bit of extra tartness in the finish. It’s light bodied with lightly fizzy carbonation. Overall, it’s a pretty basic cider, but at the very least I generally find those refreshing.

Sampled on draft this cider poured a medium golden color with a trace soapy white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was strong sweet apple juice. The flavor was sweet, tangy and tart apple juice. Short finish. Light body but nicely thirst quenching. Decent.

I had this at a neighbor’s house and completely didn’t recognize that this is a Sam Adams cider. At any rate, my view on this is identical to that for most American ciders--categorically, these are ciders that are broadly drinkable and not offensive, suitable for the people at the party who say they don’t like beer, but nothing approaching proper cider.

This smells sweeter and applier than the other. Oh, this has some sweet apple flavor to it. This tastes almost exactly like regular cider. Good. Bubbly finish.

12 oz. bottle. Sampled. Nice sweet pure apple aroma with a pretty solid red apple sweetness in the taste. Well balanced mild spices. Boston Beer seems to be better at cider than beer!

On tap at the Knick. Nice apple juice and apple cider aroma. Clean and crisp with a bit of fruity sulfur kick. Dull straw yellow clear with no head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Nice tart kick to start, like Jolly Rancher sour apple flavor. Nice sweet cider finish and refreshing clean after.
