First Press Traditional Hard Cider

Very easy-drinking cider. Very sweet, it goes down like juice. Lovely to drink on a summer day or with dinner. Good thing it is only 5% ABV, because it would be east to drink a lot of this and notice.

Quite sweet though not syrupy. No real cider flavor, more like slightly thicker, sparkling apple juice. Pretty strong fruit aroma, much more mellow flavor. A bit of caramel aftertaste. It’s ok.

The pour is a slightly hazy and lightly carbonated gold. The aroma is apple juice. The taste is sweet apple with a light tartness. The finish is short apple. There is not much body or mouthfeel. Given the 30 grams of sugar, they must have used some acidic dessert apples. It’s pretty blah. Not much going on but it’s not as sweet as I thought it would be.

Comes in a 355 ml bottle. Light amber and cloudy, with a sweet apple juice aroma, carrying a trace of caramel. Apple juice flavour, with a little toffee in the aftertaste. Inoffensive, though undistinguished. Drinkable enough, if nothing better presents itself, though it is a little over-sweet.

Interesting cider, both sweet and with a little bit of bite. Definitely not my favorite.

Solid cider, if not a little pedestrian. Straight-up apple, as advertised.

Not bad, could definitely drink again but very sweet.

Slightly hazy golden color. Quite sweet. Not our favorite.

Slightly cloudy golden pour. Heavy carbonation. Light apple aroma. Taste is moderately tart with flavors of apple skin, apple juice and a touch of sugar.

Fairly sweet cider with a clean taste. Nice with dessert!

Overall a good cider. It has more sugar than most ciders I have had, so it is very sweet.

Sweet and apple-forward. It has a few other subtle taste notes (maybe a little citrus), but mostly apple. Very smooth, but just too sweet for me.

Too sweet for my liking.
