Newtons Folly Authentic Draft Cider

Brewed by Vermont Hard Cider Company, LLC
Style: Cider
Middlebury, Vermont USA

Serve in Flute, Lager glass

12 oz. bottle. Amber color. Aroma is fairly generic for cider...apple sweetness and little else. Taste is very simple for a cider. Has some red apple notes, sweet, and forgettable.

Tasted bottle from Trader Joe’s into tulip glass. Poured a deeper amber color than typical, very little foam. Strong apple aroma and flavor. Spritzy carbonation, very champagne like. Crisp and tasty. Sweeter, less dry aftertaste compared to some other ciders.

pours a clear dark peach, a little carbonation on the fringe... the nose is super light, the back end gives off a ton of apricots, a bit of honey and alcohol, so-so... the taste is super sweet no alcohol, tastes like apple juice, totally crushable but not a ton of flavor... a good gateway beer for people getting into cider

Bottle; poured a dehydrated urine gold with not much head but a decent amount of visible carbonation. Aroma of apples with a hint of sweet white whine. Nothing much distinct about the flavor, and probably a little less flavorful than the norm. Palate was a bit harsh.

Tasted 5-9-2011 at home from bottle. Aroma: Smells of sweet apples with some pear. Not much else. Appearance: Pours a lovely light orange, but apparently it’s fake color. No lasting head. Taste: This was sweet and appley with a little tartness to finish. But it’s mainly sweet, too sweet in fact. It’s just a one note "refined" apple sweetness with very little complexity. Palate: Enough carbonation to dance a little on the tongue, pleasant. Overall: One dimensional, fakey, but enjoyable for what it was just don’t expect a whole lot here.

Bottle. Finally saw an extra at Trader Joes. Was not going to buy a six pack. Pours with a clear, straw colored body with minimal head. Nice color, but I looked at the bottle and saw that it is artificial coloring. Nice effort. Aromas of sulfur, tangy apple preserves, artificial, chlorine pool water, a touch of spice and jolly ranchers. Flavor is cloying. Super sweet, slightly rancid. Rotten apples, chlorine, tooth decay. Fizzy bubbles, sticky. Not cider. "Less than 1% of natural flavor".

Bottle. Dark orange with no head. No carbonation. Aroma is full and pleasant, fresh apples. Almost no flavour, I mean nothing. Light but pleasant apple finish. A bit too sweet

I actually kind of liked this cider. It was a little too sweet and artificial syrupy even though it’s not. I wanted something a little more sour. Pretty refreshing on the other hand.
