First sip is a decent one. Like the other Angry Orchards, it is sweet and very much like apple juice in its general taste. A sip tends to blur things and give you an unclear representation of the beverage. That's why I never just rely on a sip, I always follow with a nice, big swig to give my taste buds the chance to dissect the different parts of it and enjoy it on another level. As a sip of this will not result in a substantive difference between this cider and the last, I'll go ahead and see if I can detect one with a gulp.
Tip-in is apple and a slight bit of carbonation. The middle follows with an almost syrupy thickness that presses the apple with a bit of tartness. The finish it a bit harsh with a wave of sour that is completely over the top, a bit of carbonation, and then it fades away to a sweetness on the lips and tongue. It's kind of a mixed bag.
Bottom Line: I liked it well enough, but that hit of sour right at the beginning of the finish was a bit rough.
