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..

on draft at mad fox. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Banana notes in the nose. Flavors reminiscent of dead falls from our backyard apple tree. OK.

Can. Clear pale gold pour with a smaller white head. Tart and sweet apple in this. I don’t hate it as much as some.

Watery lack luster cider here - weird aftertaste adds even more to worry about.

Starts kind of nice and just turns sickening after a while. Reminds me of a juicy juice drink box that has gone beyond its expiration date. I couldn’t even recommend it for dessert as it was just too sweet. The reason I did rate it as high as I did is the fact that it started kind of nice.

Golden orange pour from a can. Not much aroma. I’m not big on cider and this is even mediocre for the style.

From notes. interesting, one of my first ciders. Will take getting accustomed to. Sweet, somewhat dry, and refreshing.

500 mL can. Nothing particularly exciting about this one. Kinda bland. Is this 75 characters yet?

Mora2000 (4042) - McKinney, Texas, USA - JUL 17, 2012
Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. The aroma is an unattractive mix of grain and wheat. The flavor is much of the same. I get a lot of corn and grain notes, as well as quite a bit of sugar and apple. Just a bad cider.

DuffMan (5190) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - JUL 10, 2012
Can. Medium gold, medium carbo. Aroma is really bad-- like apple flavoured soda pop, metal shavings, and eggy farts. Flavours of sickly sweet corn syrup and fake apple. How has this gained such success in the mass marketplace? Who the fuck honestly thinks this tastes good? I understand how watery pale lagers have their place-- I really do because I started there long ago. But this doesn’t hold any kind of appeal on any level. Just terrible. Drainpour.
