Good Cider. Cloudy and unfiltered. Would get this one again.

Pale gold - clear, until the insane amount of sediment kicked up. Flavor is lightly of apple, with an odd, slight plastic note. Flavor starts off apple peel, finishes apple peel and a bit of random spiciness. Fortunately the plastic that is evident on the nose (still there, it isn’t going away) doesn’t show in the mouth. Overall, quite a flavorful cider, nice break from all the ones that are very clean with just a very light apple flavor, and the more French styles that while loaded with flavor are sometimes difficult to find an apple in. Not my favorite, but not bad. Amusing to me that MillerCoors seems to allow their cidery more freedom to experiment than they do their brewers.

Bottle; poured a clear dull gold/yellow color. Aroma was sweet, almost like some fruit snacks. Flavor had something different about it. Couldn’t put a finger on it. Enjoyable.

From a bottle poured an amber color with no head. Light sweet cider flavor.

금색에 약간의 탄산. 맛도 향도 상클하고 달다. 하드사이더를 처음 맛보는 사람에게 최적이다.

Bottle shared with my wife. Pours a rather hazy looking gold with a thin white head around the edges. Smells of super sweet apples and apple juice with a bit of dirty barnyard yeast lingering in the background and some caramel. Medium bodied, drier than expected from the nose but there still is a good amount of sweetness in here. Nothing cloying though, just a very sweet take on a cider. Yeast comes through again with a little more barnyard, would love to see a really funky/bretty version of this. Finishes with more apple and a bit more yeast. Very easy drinking, lots of cool stuff going on in here.

The cloudiness of the cider is nice but the flavor, while apply, just isn’t all that tasty. It’s very similar to a generic non-alcoholic cider however.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow with small frothy white head that diminishes quickly to nothing. The aroma is honey and champagne. Thin mouthfeel with a tangy malt and dry fruit with nice dry finish. A very good cider from Crispin.

Bomber to snifter (shared with the Mrs.). Looks solid; a transparent orange with thin white lacing. Smells and tastes solid; dry and slightly tart. Good on the palate. Basically tastes like apple juice. A good example of the style.

Bottle. Hazy pale yellow color, low carbonation. Aroma of dried apples, light citrus. Taste is apples dunked in white wine.
