Bottle from Half Time. Pours dark gold with a few bubbles. Light aromas of floral and appleskin. Near med body. Flavor is tart, astringent apple skin. I’m thinking some red apples are in this. It is very dry. Very.

Bottle. Poured clear pale color with a minimal head that diminished slowly with little lacing. Medium floral apple aroma. Medium body with a dry smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium tart apple flavor with a medium tart finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable refreshing beverage.

Bottle poured clear gold with a lingering ring of white bubbles. Aromas of straw, light apple and light floral notes. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of applew, straw and light vinegar with a crisp dry lingering apple finish.

Pours a dark golden color with a short lived white head. Sweet apples on the nose, a light spiciness, sweet sugar and a hint of yeast. Not really all that dry, though. The flavor is nicely sweet with a lot of apple and apple juice flavor. Not dry, but a nice flavor to it.

Pours dark straw with minimal head and a lot of carbonation streams. Nose is earthy apple and some cinnamony hints. Tastes crisp, with a tart apple flavor, and some cinnamon and brown sugar notes. Stays tart throughout, with a medium and fizzy palate.

Bottled. Poured crystal-clear, bright golden with no head sticking around. The aroma picked up tart apple skins and lightly-spicy yeast with apple meat beneath.. fresh and fragrant. The flavor found tart apple skins and oak on the tip of the tongue, with meatier apple beneath.. dry on the edges, with floral and spicy accents.. sweet and tart apple skins and a pinch of earthy spice on the crisp, refreshing finish. Light-medium bodied and engaging on the palate.. seemed like it wanted to be too sweet at a few points, but crisp dryness always pulled it back.. nice one.

Bottle from a Kroger. Pours a clear amber color with a decent sized head. Aroma of tart apples and an almost herbal note. The taste is sweet apples with a tart finish. A bit of spice. Thin and watery. Meh.

Bottle @ home. Random mini cider tasting. Clear, dark golden appearance with a tiny white head. Pulpy red apple, fairly dry, light white wine, pear aroma. Somewhat tart, tangy, apple pulp, slightly spicy, juicy flavor. Decent but pretty one dimensional.

Bottle, clear light golden with still body, aroma and flavor is less sweet and more musty apple than woodchuck, namesake dry finish
