Where to start? This is one of the more confusing ciders I've ever drunk.
Thing 1: It looks like Bloom brand but is secretly CaliCraft.
Thing 2: The subtitle is "Untraditional Ciders," but then in the small print it describes itself as "gluten-free beer with fruit." (Also, don't you need grain to make beer? The only ingredients here are water, sugar, and tangerine, clementine, and pear juices.)
Thing 3: It... kind of smells like diapers? But somehow not in an off-putting way? (My gf thinks Cheerios more than diapers, so YMMV.)
Thing 4: It's *quite* sour. If I didn't know better, I actually would identify it as a sour beer.
So... would I get this again? Probably not, and yet I'm giving it a medium rating. Why? Because I'm not miserable drinking it, though IDK if I'll get through the whole 16 ounces. I have a pretty iron stomach, but even I feel a little bit like I did when I was in sixth grade and some dumb boy dared me to drink a Dixie cup full of vinegar. (Pro tip: Don't.)
