There was almost no fizzing formation of head which made for a ugly unappetizing apple cider. The aroma was weak with only minor sign of apple and alcohol. The flavor was bland with a flat taste of carbonation and old apple juice.

OMG! I keep following Cheapie!

Bottle. Pours clear yellow. The bottle cap says, "Piercing refreshment." Does that mean you are supposed to drink this when you are getting a body piercing?

Pours yellow, very thin white lacing. Aroma is apples and musty newspapers from your grandma’s attic. Flavor is water, slightly tart watered down apples, some weird residual buttery-ness. Boring!

Darker than most ciders I’ve tasted. More like the color of a pale yellow ubiquitous american lager. No head and no sign of carbonation within. Taste is tingly. Has a flavor reminiscent of flavored malt liquor. Not really sweet but has a tad of apple flavor. Finish is friendly but that mild to medium presence of alky pops it’s head up. Rather fruity and refreshing tho there are more ciders out there that really are more cidery.

Pours gold with no head. Light apple aroma with a faint apple flavor and not much else.

Beer Snob (457) - Ontario, CANADA - JUN 24, 2008
Flat and gold, not much to look at. Light apple aroma. Light apple flavor with a slight alcohol tinge. But no lingering sweetness and very refreshing on a hot day.

Bottle shared by a friend. Yellow-ish pour. Nice tart, crisp aroma and taste. Taste was lighter than expected. Nicely dry. Artificial preservatives... BOO!!!

presario (3977) - Stampede City, Alberta, CANADA - JUN 16, 2008
500ml can. Light gold with hints of head and a steady but small stream of tiny bubbles. Aroma of fermenting apples with a trace of cinamon. Refreshing carbonation and mouth feel. Straight forward dry apple juice and touch of cinamon. Perhaps a bit of funk or mystery mixed in with the apples?! A bit mouth drying. Lasting apple taste.

light golden, no head or foam. Smells like apple juice. Tastes like alcoholic apple juice. A little bitter, and quite dry. Not much else to say.
