This sounds like it is going to be really good, but it isn’t. Looks almost exactly like ginger ale, but with finer carbo. Decent aroma of apple skins, but the palate is just too sweet and sugary for me. After a few sips I get that horky corn syrup cloying throat coating that I hate. Didn’t finish.

This cider is pretty refreshing. The taste is apples upfront with a nice and mellow molasses twang to keep the tart in check. Nothing too complex, just simple and easy on the palate.

Apple juice with alcohol. Pours with no carbonation & clear gold. Aroma is apples. Taste is apple. Guess that’s why it’s a cider. Dtinkable but not beer like.

Bottle. Light sweet apple aroma. Clear copper with a small, immediately dissipating white head. Sweet tart, slightly dry apple flavor. A little jolly rancher-like. Light, highly carbonated body.

Elwood (2552) - Leesburg, Virginia, USA - DEC 5, 2012
Serving: 12 oz. bottle from Wegmans Leesburg. It pours a clear copper color with no head. The nose is faintly fresh apple cider and a touch of toasted notes. The flavor is subdued but thankfully so is the sweetness. All I really get is some caramel apple, a slight tartness, and a dry finish. Light body with average carbonation. I wish there was a little more to this.
