Nov 21, 2009 Enjoyed on tap and many 12oz bottles over the years, most recently the former. The cider pours a medium to deep amber color, with just the slightest head at the top that pretty quickly makes itself only a memory. The nose shows some apple character, but it seems to be of the sort that comes from a big gallon jug at the supermarket. It seems the cider is back-sweetened with juice to bring out more apple flavor. While I see no problem with this, the juice used gives the cider an artificial aroma and palate. The latter is fairly lightly carbonated and is fairly dry in the finish. In between, it is almost insipidly thin, and lacks a whole lot of character. Ciders tend to be dry, but it seems that the manufacturer would benefit from re-evaluating its recipe to include apple varietals that are leave more residual sugar following fermentation.

Nov 21, 2009 Bottle. I can’t believe I’ve not rated a cider before. I really like them and have tried several. This is one I used to drink all the time. It has a nice apple taste with the right balance of sweet and crisp dryness. It is a very refreshing drink.

Oct 25, 2009 Golden pour with some fizz. Aroma is sweet apple and some spice. Flavor is simple, apple pie like. Not very complex but not bad.

Oct 22, 2009 Bottle. Pour is medium to light golden. Aroma is sweet with a hint of tart apple skin. Flavors are well blended and sweet like apple pie apples. A hint of added sugar enhances the pie perception. Not too bad of a cider. Could be a bit more adventurous and complex.

Oct 18, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a pale yellow color with a almost nonexistent quickly vanishing white head. It has a apple aroma and a little bit of a wine aroma. It has a very sweet apple juice taste and nice carbonation. I like this hard cider better than most that I’ve tasted.

Sep 18, 2009 Well, it tastes like cider. I almost decided not to rate the ciders, but changed my mind.

Aug 31, 2009 bottle: pint glass: so much better than the pear! Pour was the same, highly carbonated but leaving a thing film of head. The nose was all apples, reminds me of childhood... Solid cider taste, nothing over the top... again this is only a once in a while drink for sure...
