Pale straw like color, aroma is sweet apples. flavor is sickly sweet with non enough apple. A cider should be crisp and remind you of fall and refresh you. This cider coats your mouth in a gross sugar coating and then you pour it out.

Pours a clear yellow with little head. The aroma is of sweet apples. The taste is sweet and crisp, apply - yet quite solvent-like. Meh...

Definitely a cider. Golden. Tastes like an Apple. Low carbonation. Ok, but not great.

Pours a light yellow gold with an aroma of sour apples. Taste is dry with a sweet start and a tart finish. Refreshing.

Light aroma of red apples. Flavor is a lively apple with a hint of lemon. Slightly tart. Light body and easy drinking.

Little more than a cider. Honestly didn’t even think to look for it on here at first. Meh.

Aroma is crisp apples and a "dry" C02-y thing. Appearance is a golden yellow with no clouding. Taste is a fresh crisp "golden delicious" apple Mouth Feel is pretty heavy C02 carbonation, quite "grippy" just like eating an apple. Overall, I like this stuff quite a bit, and they have it everywhere. It’s good when I just want something tasty but don’t really want beer. For what it is, I think it’s great. Some places have it on tap, and IMO it’s better on tap. Usually comes in a 6-pack of clear 12oz bottles or a 4-pack of tall cans like an energy drink. I haven’t met many people who won’t drink this, so it’s a good choice for a picky party.

Tap at JP Henley’s in St Augustine, FL. First time rating this but I’ve had it a bunch of times. In short, a very good cider when the beer alternatives are pretty crappy- better on tap than in cans from my experience. Pour is pretty typical- clear, deeper gold. Sparkling carbonation with a temporary white, fizzy head. Fresh yellow apple nose. Taste is quite tart with nice lactic sourness and Granny Smith apples in the finish. Green apple skins perhaps. Not bad. Tart and refreshing. Very simple.

440ml can left after a party, served chilled,.poured into a shaker glass. Quite surprised to get a bit of a white head with a vigourous pour. not much apple flavour, dry and fizzy. I can imagine that it would be quite refreshing on a hot day, but it’s all a bit flavourless and burp inducing for me.
