The color is pretty much the same as most of the others. It may have a bit more of a honey color, but it's generally golden as apple juice tends to be (from concentrate). The aroma, however, is quite different than the apple smell I'm used to. Instead, it has a syrupy aroma almost like a sweet wine. In fact, the smell puts me in mind of the mead that I had a little while back.First sip is pleasant enough. It's sweet, but mild. It tastes like a watered down apple wine, and I suppose that is essentially what it is. The honey has added sweetness and a bit of depth. There is even a bit of tartness toward the end of the sip, and it makes me wonder how a swig goes down.
Tip-in is almost sickly sweet. It seems to mellow a bit for the middle, but it's still almost Pepsi sweet with its apple and honey. When the finish starts, a tart taste grips the tongue and does not let go. Like, it NEVER lets go. There's more sweet that tries to mellow it a bit, but the tart is just too much for it.
Bottom Line: Not as good as the others. Too sweet for its own good. Still not the worst, that's for sure.
