   AROMA 6/10   APPEARANCE 4/5   TASTE 6/10   PALATE 3/5   OVERALL 12/20
Acetobacter (816) - Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 9, 2009
Enjoyed via draft in a pub glass. The cider pours a light golden color that borders on perhaps being a full-yellow. Small white head that lasts about two minutes. Nose of apple juice from concentrate, artificial sweetner, and a bit of a sour twang. The palate is nicely carbonated, and strikes a balance between being sweet up front, showing a nice, if fairly simple and straightforward, character. One downfall is what appears to be the prevalent character of concentrated sweetners added back to the beverage post-fermentation. The finish moves from being sweet up front to nicely dry on the back end, with a subtle but noticeable note of acidity. Overall, obviously aimed for the masses, but not terrible.

DarkSong (239) - Dacula, Georgia, USA - OCT 27, 2009
12 oz bottle. Pours a pale yellow color with a almost nonexistent almost instantly vanishing white head. It has a faint apple aroma. It has a very nice dry apple flavor and a slight wine like taste along with some tartness. I liked this hard cider.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - OCT 19, 2009
Yellow color with a diminished head of white bubbles. Plastic and apple skin aromas. Sweet candy apple flavors in the start. Middle has a bit of acidity. dryer finish with some more apple skin. Apple juice with a carbonated water kick.

Pyobon (518) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - OCT 10, 2009
Can. Clear golden yellow with a small amount of head. Decent appley aroma with a hint of champagne. Medium body with with champagne like carbonation. Flavour is basic apples, nothing complex, but I detect grapes also. Whilst not dry by scrumpy standards, it pleasantly strikes a reasonable balance. It’s a drinkable mainstream cider but nothing special (but I don’t driunk a lot of cider, so these are not knowledgeable comments.)

Bottle thanks to sean. Golden pour with some white head. Apple aroma, well what else? Apple champagne ish flavor, not sure how a cider really should be rated but against good beers this does not stand up.
