Very sweet in a good way. Not syrupy. Tastes like nonalcoholic cider. Thick and good.

Wow, this cider left me with a huge smile on my face. The higher alcohol is not apparent at all. It has a great cloudy color that reminds me of an unfiltered wheat beer. Has a nice head like beer too. Then the taste is a softly sweet apple with that creamy vanilla undertone that sets it apart from any other cider I’ve had. I tried this one cold but I’ve heard it is great warmed up with a cinnamon stick and some orange zest. Yum.

This is a fantastic sweet cider. I got a darker caramel sweetness with hints of spices (cinnamon).

Like liquid apple pie. Huge apple aroma with lots of nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove. Even a few bready notes to give the feel of crust. Some caramel notes lend even more to the pie illusion. I could drink a lot of this!

smells of apple cider, wee bit of alcohol. light golden color, barely there head. tiny bit of carbonation. Tastes like apple cider, no other way to describe it. very smooth and drinkable.

In the bottle from Beertopia. Pours a dark reddish gold to amber color with a rapidly disseminating effervescent head. The aroma is fairly standard apple cider with little indication of the treat awaiting. The four-part flavor blast runs from apples to sweetness to vanilla to tartness. Jumping around in there is a jangle of cinnamon, but only a bit. This is like an apple pie in a bottle. Just incredible. My only knock on it is the unnecessary marketing scheme of having it be "organic." All that does for the beer is raise its price. I think that this was the best holiday treat of 2009.

Delicious must-taste cider and winter beer. Amazing flavor profile brings out the vanilla and spice while remaining a true apple cider. Aroma is just as lovely, with apples cinnamon and vanilla weaving together.

Smells like pie, tastes like pie. Crust, Granny Smith apples, baked ’till they’re soft with a tiny crunch and caramelized sugar, little sticky, cinnamon all warm out of the oven. It tastes like food. I don’t drink this WITH dessert, I drink it FOR dessert.

Pours a hazy dark golden with a thin white head. Aroma is cinnamon spiced apples. Flavor is sweet apple, cinnamon, like liquid apple pie. My favorite cider yet.

UPDATED: OCT 14, 2010 22oz – The Wine Source. Chill hazed gold. Thick apple cinnamon aromas ride softer layers of maple vanilla and hints of clove. Similar in flavor with soft sweet apple spice tones warming to light vanilla bean and maple finish. Medium bodied and slick, light carbonation, soft apple spice finish. If cider is your thing, this one is not to be missed. Very well done…
