Pours a clear off-white. It has a fresh aroma of apples and, well, apples! The taste is sweet and apple-ish and slightly crisp. Slightly sweeter than many ciders I’m used to, although it lacks the solvent taste of many. A little on the watery side if I do say.

Pours clear light golden with a white head and slight carbonation. Aroma is of Champaign and hints of apple. Body id light and crisp. Taste is semi-sweet, slightly tart with some green apple fruitiness. I’m just getting into ciders; this one is not bad IMO.

hivemind (352) - New York, New York, USA - NOV 6, 2011
12-oz bottle from 9th Ave Vintner drank before power hour @ 47B with the bros. Pours typical pale cider yellow. Weak aroma, not much of anything. Tastes sweet but lacks any characteristics or flavors like a particular fruit. Not bad tasting but pretty lame.

Cunningham (1754) - Halden, NORWAY - OCT 28, 2011
UPDATED: FEB 2, 2012 on tap - golden colour with a bubbly head - apple aroma - dry and lots of apple flavour

seymour (606) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - OCT 17, 2011
Tasted from bottle into standard pint glass. Poured a clear, light yellow color of thinned apple juice. Definite apple flavors and aromas. Sweeter and lower in alchol percentage than competing Woodchuck Cider, but many cider drinkers prefer it this way. Light body and watery, with long-lasting fruity finish. Highly effervescent and drinkable.

(bottle 5/14/11). Clear light gold color. Small white head. Moderate sweet sugary apple aroma. Flavor of the same, but light. Avg duration. Very dry finish. Thin texture. Soft to moderate carbonation. Spare lacing.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a glass. Pours clear pale yellow with very small white head. Very light apple aroma, very little lacing, no carbonation, and medium body. Taste is light sweet cider.

12oz bottle claiming 4.2%. licensed and bottled by Bulmer’s America in VT. my favorite bird(red head) pours a crystal clear pale gold with no head. nose is almost non-existent. not an overly sweet cider with a modest amount of carbonation. light body. i can taste is hint of molasses.
