Crisp acidity, modest residual sugar, & mellow baking spices impart this cider with an unpretentious drinkability. #fall #cider

I’m honestly surprised how highly this cider is rated on here. I think it’s fine but it doesn’t hold a candle to the great products that so many small producers are releasing these days. Maybe ten years ago I would be impressed by this but the cider industry has grown in leaps and bounds since then. This product is chaptalized, which for me is a deal breaker to begin with. Christ, the first ingredient is water!?! Beyond that I find the residual sweetness to be excessive; it covers up any subtlety that might exist. I can’t even get through a bottle in one sitting. The aggressive marketing of the product as being ‘organic’ coupled with how little value is clearly placed on flavor profile truly makes this bottle a time capsule, indicative of what consumers responded to a decade ago.
