Feb 9, 2009 Bottle. Simple clear color, not especially unlike even the best ciders, but the flavor was distinctly sweet and commercial; probably worse than the typical lot but not undrinkable by any stretch. Some apple sour. Weak palate.

Mar 24, 2009 Appearance: Pours a clear, still, faintly amber-hued body.
Smell: There’s nothing quite like the tart-scented aroma of mass-produced cider.
Taste: Tart, sugary sweet taste of concentrated apple that develops a bit more tartness as you reach the drying finish. Nominal sulfite character. Simple and okay for one of these things.
Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Exceedingly low carbonation.
Drinkability: A small step above the Granny Smith, but that’s not saying too terribly much. La Face Cachée de la Pomme Frimas, where are you when I need you?!

Jul 25, 2008 Doesn’t smell that strongly of apples. I actually kind of liked this. Not too sweet or apply, it’s got a bit of juice flavor that stays for a long time. A very nice finish. Good stuff.

Jun 20, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Trader Joe’s in Short Pump, VA. Pours a clear copper color with nearly no head. Aroma is sweet, grainy apples with a bit of brown sugar. Taste is sugary sweet apple juice. Very weakly carbonated. Light tart finish, which saves this one from certain doom.

Jul 13, 2008 Green-glassed bottle from Trader Joe’s. Cloying apple nose. Super-crisp pour leaves absolutely no head, an orangish clear body. Taste is cloying apple juice, well-hidden alcohol with a bit of apple skin showing in the end. Light body but not watery. Where did the carbo go? Much easier drinking than expected, the sugariness doesn’t get in the way of the enjoyment like in many other ciders.
