First sip is actually different than the last two. I had started to think that Woodchuck was just toying with me by calling this a sample pack. This one is very, very calm and simple. It's a sweet apple juice. I can barely taste any alcohol at all, and this is worlds better than the others. I'm not sure if it can stand up to competition from other breweries, but it is the best Woodchuck has put out so far. Time for a big American swig.
Tip-in is slight apple, but it's watered down a bit. When the middle comes, it has a slight sour taste that comes with the carbonation, but there isn't a whole heap of carbonation going on. It's just about right. Then, the finish starts with a more pronounced sour tone and that slight hint of grapes. Then, a sweet apple graces the tongue followed by a more sour apple and the slightest trace of clove.
I'm surprised how much I like this cider, but I don't think it's the best one I've had.
3.5/5
