Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

473ml can&#60;br&#62; 4.5&#37; ABV&#60;br&#62; LCBO Outlet #649 &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey&#39;s Plaza&#41;&#60;br&#62; July 3, 2020&#60;br&#62; &#36;3.50&#60;br&#62; The cider pours a clear light gold colour with orange highlights. There is a thin white ring for a head, and excessive tiny bubble effervescence…..Don Ho would be proud&#33; The aroma is ripe peaches, and light yeast. The mouthfeel is very much like a carbonated soda, overly carbonated and lively. The flavour is sweet peach. It boils down to this as being, in my opinion, an alcoholic peach soda…..and I can live with that&#33;
