500ml can. Pours clear yellow with a thin frothy white head that quickly dissipates into an almost non existent white rim. virtually no lacing to speak of. Aroma of apples, fruit. flavour has notes of nuts,and dry apples. Aroma overall is quite weak.Taste is minimal sourness and bitterness, this one is predominantly tart and dry. Of note, this cider has virtually no after taste. The flavour comes on strong and suddenly it’s all gone.Weird. This would be about your average cider except it has some unique characteristics to it that differentiate it...slightly..

Little head, gold body and lots of carbonation, just about "blah" for a cider. Very, very soft apple aroma, not too exciting for a cider. Flavour is white wine with apples, complex and welcoming in fact. Soft finish. Not one for looks, but this stuff is in fact tasty and worth a try.

Chipalsa (481) - Florida, USA - JAN 21, 2012
This cider was fresh and sweet. From the mellow-yet-musty aroma you could tell it was something different. While presenting a crisp and fairly dry flavor, the aftertaste left the taste buds wanting more. Altogether a pretty good cider, but too bland and simple compared to most.

Can. Artificial aroma of apples. Taste like cheep apple juice with yeast, tartness in background. Sour finish. Nothing special.

On tap @ the Mabie Hotel. Pours amber/orange with no head. The nose is of dry apples. The taste is of more dry, maybe stewed apples too. The palate generally works well - a decent amount of body through the start and middle and a very dry finish. For a massively produced and distributed cider this tastes fine.

Tap. Very light blond. Doesn’t smell too sweet but also has a little off note in the aroma. Light, not too sweet. Could be crisper.

500ml can in texas. Flat, bland, not much body. Barely any apple in the nose. Slightly sweet taste that dissipates quite quickly.

bottled, clear orange rusty color with sweet apple aroma and woody, dry fruit flavor, pretty nondescript overall
