clear pinot grigio color, moderately carbonated, no head. aroma has some apple and a little pear and smells a little syrupy. flavor is a bit fizzy with apple and pear notes as well. very thin and flavor dulls in the finish. it’s what you get when you go ultra.

You’ll be hard pressed to find much flavor or joy in drinking this cider. It’s not horrible but if you’re looking for a decent refreshing cider look elsewhere.

I was prepared to really tee off on this one. I believe I was going to say "it tastes like shame". Bit here’s the thing - It isn’t really bad. It definitely isn’t good. It’s barely anything, really. Faint aroma and even fainter flavor. How can you hate something that barely exists?

Bottle; poured a fizzy clear dull gold with a white head. Aroma of apples and bland candy. Palate was extremely fizzy; more champagne than beer. Sweet flavor, almost artificial. Apples, with a tinge of candy. Ok.

Super fizzy to start, but that dies down. Not bad, not good either. A couple reviews mentioned Jolly Rancher, and that’s accurate for the flavor. A bit artificial. Still, good to have a light option.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear and relatively colorless. A Jolly Rancher apple aroma wafts from the glass. Aroma is similar when glass approaches nose. Flavor isn’t strong, but it seems quite artificial. I’m sticking with the idea that somebody poured Jolly Rancher flavor while the cider was being diluted to "lighten" it.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
ULTRA light pour that is almost clear. No head to speak of. The nose is tart green apple, Jolly Rancher candy, water, and sugar. A little bit of apple juice. Tastes of a slightly sour green/apple flavored Jolly Rancher. Quite sugary and sweet, maybe a little watery, and very light apple juice quality. At least it’s light in body and very effervescent.

From a bottle poured a light yellow color with a small amount of head. Light cider flavor with a quick finish.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
12 ounce bottle - $1.49 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clear drink with just the faintest, and I do mean faintest touch of yellowish hue to it.
Smell: Guhh! This one smells like sour apple Laffy Taffy.
Taste: And tastes just about the same.
Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium-light carbonation. Watery.
Overall: I thought it’d be bad. It was worse.
