3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a clear pale gold with a white ring. Sparkly, tart apple aroma, with a hint of yeast. Taste is tart and sweet apples. Lingering tartness. Nice carbonation and very refreshing.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
[Bottle] Pours a nearly clear color with low carbonation. Tastes of tart apple juice. Sour finish and light mouthfeel. Rather bland. This is not a very good cider.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours clear with carbonation. Aroma of apples and spice, flavor of apples with a bit of tart, reminded me of a sour apple jolly rancher. Good finish.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
(Bottle) Pours a near clear, mildly carbonated. Nose of spice, milk and apple rind. Nice carbonation, tart front with smooth tonic finish. Average. 6/3/5/2/11
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Just like the other draft, pretty sure there is no difference. Sweet and cider like, not much else.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Looks like 7 up pretty much. Aroma is lightly tart with some sweetness, light vinegar. Taste is light vinegar, green apples.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Looks light like the inside of an apple. Flavor is sweeter than the other and more apply. Finish is much sweeter and a little more coating, but quite good, and I think, better overall.
1 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Green-glassed bottle from Trader Joe’s. Less cloying nose than its "normal" brother. Pour is extremely clear - it’s no exaggeration to say most tap water in New York City is darker. No head. Taste is cloying sugar, cotton-candy style without the verve, not quite tart enough to register but there’s still a whisper. Relatively smooth, watery body. Goes down easier than vodka, at least. Absolutely nothing here.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Bottle) This isn’t beer and it doesn’t even remotely resemble beer so I’m not sure why it’s on this site, but I’m rating it nonetheless. Wow...this one is quite something. Tastes more like wine than anything else. There is very little sugar or sweetness, and there’s a sort of thin bite like in a dry white wine. Some complexity in the aroma. I really like this one, in spite of the fact that I think the "regular" cider made by this company is quite poor.

Sampled at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits Wednesday evening beer tasting and shared by JK. From a 12-oz bottle pours a clear with just a barely straw colored cider with no bubbles or any ring. Taste is slightly tart apple and apple skin with a touch of sugar. Taste is slightly tart apple, medium bodied with no spices or any additional flavors. Finish has a mild tart aftertaste that quickly disappears. Pretty much an average tart apple cider.
