Its been a long time since I've reviewed a cider. This cider is label as a draft cider, but it cannot be draft since it came in a bottle not of draft. I've seen other ciders label as draft ciders and I think it might mean that it is a sparking (carbonated) cider instead of being still (non-carbonated).
The cider smells like tart apples with a light yeast aroma. The color is a very pale yellow, almost clear. There is not head to the cider because it is not beer, but there are lots of bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass.
The taste starts with a light sweetness and red apple flavor. The cider quickly drys out leaving a a tart taste that causes the back of the mouth to water. There is an almost wine tartness to this cider. The mouthfeel is light and effervescent with bubbles filling the mouth. The finish is dry with a apple taste lingering lightly.
This is a very tasty cider. I am so used to Woodchuck's simple apple flavor I really enjoy the added complexity of this cider.
