This cider has been a staple at the local liquor store for sometime, and today Bailey and Hawke finally give it a try. This is a simple cider. In fact the brand only makes one variety of cider. With a relatively low alcohol rating of 4.2% abv, this cider can offer a different flavor.
Color:
Hawke found to be very clear with a bright golden yellow color and a few air bubbles scattered around the glass. Likewise, Bailey was interested in the crisp champagne color but also felt there was a slight carbonation to the cider. Bailey: 4/5 Hawke: 4/5
Smell:
Bailey detected a very slight sour apple smell, it was almost nonexistent. As well, she felt there was a subtle alcohol smell. Hawke felt there was some wine/alcohol smell but he also felt there was no smell of of apples at all. Hawke: 2/5 Bailey: 2/5
Taste:
Hawke thought that there was a very subtle apple flavor, minor alcohol flavor, but not as overpowering as the smell. It was a little surprisingly, but disappointing in that the flavor was not more pronounced. Bailey got a very bubbly flavor with a slight sweetness. It was also very crisp with nothing offensive about it to note. Hawke: 4/5 Bailey: 4/5
Aftertaste:
Hawke did not detect any aftertaste. If it did occur it happened really fast. Bailey felt more of a tingle in the back of the throat than a flavor, maybe a very slight sour flavor. Bailey: 2/5 Hawke: 1/5
Price:
8-10 for a six pack. Hawke thinks that the price for a six pack is very reasonable, the cider is enjoyable for the price. Bailey thought that this price is very good for the quality. It's not an over-the-top quality cider, but it is good. Bailey: 5/5 Hawke: 4/5
Overall:
Hawke felt that this was a decent cider that is inoffensive because of lack of harsh flavors.
Bailey thinks that this cider is another good starter cider. The flavor is very light, crisp, and clean. This would be a great cider for summer, and to pair with foods that are bursting with flavor.
Overall Bailey gave this cider a 17/25 or a yellow apple.
Overall Hawke gave this cider a 15/25 or a yellow apple.
