Growers Clementine Pineapple
Clearly can
Quasi transparent, with some pink. Aroma of fruit candy. It's sweet and moderately sour; artificial flavour, maybe the pineapple is there, clementine if one is looking for it, and a very artificial finish. Hilarious.

Growers Bartlett Pear
Can from Clearly
Very pale, almost transparent, just a shade of yellow; no head, large bubbles. The aroma smells like candy, artificial. It's sweet, with a weird flavour, some generic apple/pear juice, and what appears to be flavouring. I don't know if this is made naturally, I don't think so; the can mentions "cider, natural flavour, colour"; first of all, there is almost no colour, if you take away the one they added, you would get water, so I wonder which kind of cider we are talking about here; me thinks, sugar fermentation, a bit of apple/pear juice, some 'artificial' flavour industrially synthetized from natural sources.
But overall, clearly subpar.

Growers Summer Peach
Can from Clearly
Almost transparent, with light colour. I may have different ideas about what constitutes a natural flavour, this one smells and tastes very artificial, it gotta be the worst can in the variety pack.

Growers Grapefruit Pomelo
Can from Clearly
Almost transparent (water), but with a light red shade; a few large bubbles and no head. It smells like artificial fruit, candy, Crodino. It's sweet, with a touch of citrus fruit, obviously no cider character. The flavours are not too strikingly artificial. I may just have a different opinion of what constitutes 'natural flavoring'.
Just artificially flavoured soda, with a hint of alcohol.

A pale golden cider with aroma of sweet apple pie, light acidity, OK. In mouth, rather bland light apples with light mineral notes. So-so. Can from lcbo.

Growers Extra Dry Apple
2 litre plastic bottle found in the bottom shelf at a local whirly-do. Pours almost clear with a yellow tiny, lots of large carbonation bubbles and carbonation gone fast. The aroma is dry apple, simple but not sugary. Flavour is a bit of dry apple, no character, no sweetness, so it delivers in that respect. Mouthfeel is also dry and full. Could have been worse for a plastic jug cider, vaguely drinkable and probably good for backyard parties where you don't especially like who's attending.

Growers Bourbon Spice Style
Cinnamon color with low carbonation. Medium body texture with light taste of bourbon. Aroma of apples. Bourbon gives it bit of a sweet finish. Rally easy drinking and not too sweet allowing you to drink the entire bottle.

Cloying fruit sugar on the nose, has clear pink body with no foam. Flavour is sugar and fake fruit soda. Mouthfeel is all soda carbonation. This is soda pop cider, maybe as expected.

Crisp and slightly sweet, uncannily similar to a granny smith apple. Is it good? Sure. Exceptional? Absolutely not. It's fine.

Growers Bartlett Pear
Can from LCBO. Pours a clean, almost colourless with just a tad of very light gold. The head fizzes away as soon with no lacing. Just some slow carbonation. Smells like candied pears with hints of caramel in the background. The taste shows the same for both. Pretty mild overall with no sugars lingering on the tongue. Refreshing, crisp, carbonated and fruity. If you like Growers ciders, you will enjoy this.

Growers Harvest Stone Fruit
Can from the lcbo, clear yellow pour with no head. Aroma is sweet fruit, hints of apple, not really stone fruit, just a general sweetness. Mouth feel and carb are ok. Finish is sweet with an odd coconut flavour added to the random fruit sweetness and hinrs of apples.

Liquide blond, légèrement teinté de rouge. Des bulles font surface continuellement. Ça sent, en effet, la pomme Honey Crisp. Les saveurs sont de jus de pommes. C'est effervescent. Par contre, on plus du côté de l'eau gazeuse aromatisée. (2608-260718)

Growers Sparkling Pear Cider
5% ABV. can that pours a clean, very, very light golden colour with a fizzy head that disappears in a second. Pear juices for nose and hints of bubblegum. The taste is the same and the sugars are not too much, as in not too sweet. More on the fruity pear side of things. Decent.

Can. First thing you notice is an aroma that fills the room with fresh peaches. Wow! While the taste doesn't fully deliver on the aroma ( but nothing really can except a fresh peach), it's quite fruity and flavorful. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Growers Honeycrisp Apple
Third cider of the night, can from LCBO. Pours a very light yellow colour with a fizzy head that disappears quickly with no lacing at all. The nose is like outdated grains, with the mild apples in the background. The taste is better with all the honeycrisp apple light taste. I have had Growers cider in the past, and like them. This is probably my least favorite one.

The color is very pale, almost water. Huge aroma of sweet artificial fruit candy, bubblegum. Sweet, tooth aching, artificial pineapple and peach.
I wouldn’t be excited to drink this even if I think of it as a pop.

Growers Summer Peach
355ml can. (5.0% ABV) Pours a clear yellow-orange with a thin, fizzy, short lived, white head that fully dissipates. Sweet fruity aroma of artificial peach and apple. Sweet fruity flavour of artificial peach, apple and sugar with some tartness in the finish. Light body with a sticky texture and fizzy carbonation. Not very good, this could almost pass for a soda.

341ml bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow with a thin, fizzy, white head that fully dissipates. Sweet aroma of apples. Sweet flavour of green apples and sugar with a mildly tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and fizzy carbonation. Disappointing, lacks complexity.

Growers Sparkling Pear Cider
can. 5% abv. not 7%. pours clear almost translucent without a cap or any sign of bubbles remaining onto surface. pear perfume, white chocolate and vanilla, bitter herbs (!), some sweetness, almost cloying in fact, stevia-like powdery feeling. moderate carbonation, light body, sweet artificial finish. a farce. disgusting. undrinkable sweet and perfumey perry.

2015 Toronto trip +++ Sampled from a 473 ml can this cider poured an extremely pale yellow color with a medium sized soapy white head that faded amazingly quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was sweet apple flesh. The flavor was sweet and tart apple flesh and honey. Long finish. Light body. Yummy.

Tall can. Very pale yellow, clear, with fine carbonation. Aroma is apple candy. Flavour is massive apples, again candyish, and fairly sweet, although it dries out in the finish fairly nicely. This is a bit too candyish for my tastes, but it wasn’t horrible.
