The first thing we commented on was the design of the label. Behind the name is an O and an S: the O is an apple with a leaf, and the S is a snake, alluding to the Biblical Original Sin. In addition, the background of the label is designed to look like snake skin. Really cool. This drink is gluten free, and the label also includes the ingredients (apple cider, champagne yeast, and sulfites, etc. for flavor protection). This is bottled at the Indian River Brewing Co. and is 6% ABV.
Overall average rating: 6.8/10
This has a light golden color and is very clear. The white head diminishes quickly, again because of carbonation. There is a crisp apple aroma; Chris notes Golden Delicious and Red Delicious, as well as an unidentifiable "dark" apple. The taste is light, clean, crisp, tart, sweet - overall, very appley. The boys agreed that they would rather drink this on a hot day than a low-end pilsner.
Shawn- The taste is fantastic, very clean, and I would drink this again. The one thing I've noticed so far is that the flavors are strictly apple without any other apple cider flavors like cinnamon or nutmeg, 7.5/10.
Angela- I do really like this cider. It is better than the Woodchuck, in my opinion, because it doesn't have that lingering sugary flavor. I'm still not a huge cider fan, but I could drink more than one of these in a sitting, 6.5/10.
Chris- This is very crisp and lightly tart in comparison to the Woodchuck. Out of the two so far, I preferred the aroma of this but the taste of the Woodchuck. To me, this is a beer that should be drunk with a meal, 6.5/10.
