pkbites (572) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - JUL 6, 2012
Can. Light apple aroma. Pours piss yellow with no head to speak of. Has a weird, artificial flavor to it, plus a metallic taste in the background. Aftertaste is of artificial flavor and rotting fruit. Not even good as a thirst quencher as it tastes like crap. [voice of comic book guy from The Simpsons]: "Worst. Cider. EVER!"

DiarmaidBHK (2387) - Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 17, 2012
Can from Magsinva. Pours apple color with little carbonation and almost no head. Has an artificial vibe to the nose. Taste is thin and the finish is watery. One of the worst ciders I’ve had so far. I can’t imagine many being worse.

queenholly (1914) - South Whitley, Indiana, USA - JUN 13, 2012
Can. Yeasty apple aroma. Golden with a small white, quickly dissipating head. Bland apple flavor, with a light citric tartness. Sharp carbonation, slightly dry finish. I’ve had worse, I’ve had better.

Not much of a scent on this, looks like a light beer. Taste like a stale wine blahh.

Smells like apples. Medium bodied with high carbonation. Slightly acidic, mild apple flavour profile. Finish is dry and tart.

Appley aroma, as would be expected. Looks like a sparkling cider. Flavor is fruitty and likable...cant knock a cider...usually.

paco (527) - Regina, Saskatchewan, CANADA - MAR 4, 2012
Can purchased at track side liquor in Medicine Hat. Pours golden color with next to no head. Plenty of bubbles.Aromas of apple juice and sugar. Taste is similar to apple juice, somewhat dry. A bit of a crab apple taste. Drinkable, but in moderation.

SamP01 (357) - New Jersey, USA - MAR 4, 2012
Pours a sparkling golden yellow with minimal short lived white bubbly head. Aroma of sweet ripe apples, fruity. Taste is slightly sweet dry, with some tartness. A crisp light body with light carbonation. Finish is crisp, dry, some tartness, surprisingly not very sweet, almost like a dry white wine. Overall an ok cider.

Benjii (3049) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - FEB 28, 2012
On draught. Pours a light golden colour with an aroma of strawberries and apple. Similar flavours. Quite harsh.

porterhouse (1581) - Boothbay Harbor, Maine, USA - FEB 24, 2012
(500 ml can from Rising Tide) Clear gold-amber with a fizzy, quickly dissipating head. Aroma of apple, faint yeast. Mouthfeel a bit spritzy and prickly, not far from soda pop. Flavor of apple juice, faint yeast. Less sweet than most macro-ciders I’ve had from the US, otherwise it’s about the same.
