2.9 Draught elePhant and castle Wakefield. Pale amber colour. Aroma is weak apple. Taste is really sweet apples which I like. Medium body and carbonation. Good stuff for mass produced sweet cider.

2.5 500ml can, 3.5%. Pours a clear golden colour, fizzy, with a foam white head that slowly diminishes and aroma of apple skin, sourish. Taste is sweet, apple, juicy, with alittle tartness. Light bodied, medium carbonation, watery finish. OK

2.6 Schönes Aroma nach grünem Apfel. Süß-saurer Apfelgeschmack der recht trocken ausklingt. Angenehm.

2.8 Bottle. Golden amber body. Nose is fresh apple juice. Some oak. Sweet with some tangy notes. Short dry finish.

2.0 Bottle from supermarket, Ayia Napa, Cyprus. Clear pale yellow with a tiny white head. Aroma is sweet apples and a little sugary. Flavor is medium sweet. Sweet finish. 200913

1.5 Green twist off bottle. Smells liek anal death. Flavor is light, sweet, pretty damn shitty to me.

3.5 Straight up yellow pour with light white head. Aroma is light apple. Light sweet start with an applie flavor. Light/medium body with nice carbonation. No spices but a pretty solid dry cider. Tastes alot like a granny smith apple.

3.2 Strong, crisp, fruity aroma promises a good hard cider. Pours a clear straw yellow - hardly any head, but this is cider, not beer. Fruity, rather sweet flavor is what one expects from a cider, not complex but enjoyable. Texture has expected firmness and fizz. Have it on tap - tap - tap. ;)

2.4 12 ounce bottle from Market Street Wine Shop, Charlottesville. Pours a clear amber color. Aroma of tart apples, sugar and a tinny note. The taste is sweet apples. Thin-medium bodied. Generic and boring.

2.2 Clear pale to medium gold with a fizzy, white, disappearing head. Smells of apples, light citrus and apple core. Thin light body with soft carbonation. Tastes sweet with a nice overall freshness. It was nice with a meal but overall has little taste and I wouldn’t drink it on its own.

2.5 Pretty bland, not too sweet or tart. However, bland is the description as opposed to well balanced.

2.3 Cans shared with McTapps. Drinkable and dry cider. A bit sour but tasty. Still not my favourite.

2.8 Cans shared with MichaelBruch, bought online at foodfromhome.de . Crisp, medium sour cider with nice apple flavours. Quite dry, but easy to drink. Refershing.

3.0 0,275 bottle. 3,5% alc. A clear golden cider with no head. The aroma has notes of dry apples. The taste is moderate sweet with notes of apples.

2.6 Odor of pee, applesauce. The appearance is clear light yellow, white head. The flavor is apples, rather dry. The finish has a tad more sweetness. Medium/thin in body. Ok.

2.8 Pours a yellow color with a small white head. I get a lot of apple notes, as well as some biscuit and bread and in the aroma. The flavor has some medicinal apple notes, which are not too great overall. There is also a little bit of cinnamon which sort of saves the cider overall.

2.6 Bottle from Half Time. Pours light gold with a white smear. Smells like golden apple juice. Near med body. It’s lightly apple and pretty sweet. Probably fills a need for someone.

2.3 Can from a local shop. Mass produced cider, but not too bad amongst its peers.

2.8 Bottle, clear yellow color with lots of sweet biscuit notes , shortbread, more plastic and some cinnamon and curry?

3.1 pale yellow. almost no head. fairly sweet. typical apple tartness. not bad, but nothing unique in the flavor profile.

2.5 Very little aroma, but a faint fruity/apple smell. Light and pale golden color. Very clear. Almost no head. Very sweet, but tart as well. Crisp taste. Pretty average. Light body, fizzy, sweet finish. Pleasant, if not a little boring.

2.2 Bottle. Pours a light yellow body with no head. Artificial apple aroma, not good. Liked the taste, though. Thin to medium body, watery texture, medium carbonation. Decent cider.

2.8 The aroma is just apples. The beer is a straw color with a lot of fizz. The taste is tart apples with some subtle hints of caramel. The body is medium to thin with high carbonation and an acidic tartness.

3.1 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.

3.2 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.

2.7 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.

2.3 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.

2.7 (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.

2.5 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.

2.5 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.
