Tap. A light and clear yellow colour with absolutely no head. Not much aroma either. Artificially sweet taste gives way to a dry and sour finish. Light on the tongue with only slight carbonation. Unremarkable and too artificial, but mildly refreshing

On draft at Redlight. Not a strong apple scent and slightly metallic. Taste is of apples, but not overly sweet. Very dry.

Man this stuff is harsh. Yellow pour, not much of a head. Aroma is some nasty apples and flavor is just awful. Old apple vinegar mixed with sparkling wine? Barf.

Pours with a clear yellow body, no head. A slight haze. Aroma of sulfur, cardboard, and vinegar. Taste is vinegar with a hint of dry apples. Lightish carbonation, water like to dry mouthfeel. Not a great cider. Could have sworn that I rated this before I had it again tonight...

Wow, this stuff is awful. Tastes exactly as the last rater put it: Cheap, cheap champagne. I can’t really elaborate on that except this: Take perfectly good apple juice, add half a shot of Safeway Select vodka and a splash of lemon juice, and here’s what you get. No wonder it’s only $4 a quart. Bunk.

Draft, NYC, Looks, smells, and tastes like a cheap champagne. Very little sweet aroma, taste is rather bitter and too dry, and palate is harsh. It was a hassle getting this pint down.
