douglas88 (3483) - Salt Lake City, Utah, USA - SEP 5, 2011
Bottle thank to Mike. Pours a crystal clear yellow color with a small fizzy white head. The aroma is sweet apples, some sugar. The flavor is a decent overly sweet concoction, light tartness. I couldn’t drink too much of this.

drdisque (258) - Illinois, USA - AUG 10, 2011
Rating is for tap version: The only cider that I don’t feel is too sweet to be palatable. Dry component is what does this. Could use some more complex flavor to make it truly stand out though.
