3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours a clear gold with a small off white head. The aroma is spice and cinammon. Thin mouthfeel with a sour fruit flavor and crisp finish. Easy to drink, a good cider from Woodchuck.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Clear pale golden with fizz for a head. Aroma is sweet apples, maybe liquor. I guess if I had to drink cider, this would be passable.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Very nice cider, not too sweet, not too bitter. Just right if you ask me. Definitely a favorite.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Very mellow and pleasing not too sweet or too dry with just the right amount of carbonation and alcohol, Good straight from the can.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a dark amber with some carbonation. Smell is aplejuice. Tastes like red apples, or Mott’s applejuice but darker and slightly less sweet. Very sweet and similar to the various alcopops this will most likely be sold next to. Refreshing and very sweet, but I prefer the 802 version if I am reaching for a cider.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A super simple, straight forward cider. Pretty sweet and can’t have more than a couple without getting a wicked headache.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A straight forward sweet apple cider. 5% alcohol, much like apple juice with a twist. Not much detection of tanins or yeast
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This one is quite a bit sweeter than the Woodchuck Granny Smith cider, but it has kind of a nice brown sugar flavor that makes up for a little excess sweetness. It is more like a honey-gold color than amber, not very bubbly which is fine with me. It’s perfectly fine for the average cider drinker, but a bit too sweet for my taste and too middle of the road. Will probably not revisit.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Too sweet. Gives me heartburn. I much prefer dry dry cider. Used to drink in college when nothing else was around. Good thing my palate has evolved!
4.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
This Golden in color crisp glass of delishiousness has almost no head, just sparse little bubbles. Its probably my favorite cider of all time, plus it brings me back to high school days, little outdoor pizza shack and patio...the Amber pairs extremely well with a thin crust shrimp’ garlic’ and olive oil pizza. Back to the rating....That first sip gives you a nice pucker in the corners of your mouth, light saffron in color, the first sensation is sweet, like a perfect bite into an apple right off the tree on a cold autumn morning. Finally leaving you with an acidulous finish and refreshed palate.
