Growers Granny Smith Apple Cider

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

Canadian dry cider, comes in a 6 pack, in green bottles. Pours a light pear-like colour with a fizzy head that disappears quite fast. The carbonation is pretty intense, with lots of small bubbles, looking like Champagne. The taste reminds me of the sparkling wine, in the aftertaste, after going through a wave of sweet apples juices. Not super dry as written on the bottle, but still more on that side than on the sugary/syrupy side. This, I always found like a well-blended granny smith cider.

Bottle: Poured a light yellowish/beige color cider with a medium bubbly head with minimal retention. Aroma of dry apple with some limited sweetness. Taste has a bit of chemical like sweetness and a champagne feeling, which made this interesting and refreshing. Definitely lacking complexity but an interesting product nonetheless.

If cider has a swill equicvalent it's these three from Growlers. I used to drink these all the time back in about '99 to about '01. Looks clear like Sprite and are fizzy like pop too. They also leave a real icky aftertaste in the mouth/film on the roof of the mouth. I think these kicked off the whole cooler revolution. Same review for all three, as they are all basically the same. If this is all you ever had, you wouldn't know what a real cider is supposed to be.
