Aroma: Apples

Notes: I've run out of fruits again, so I decided to raid the Mexican soda pop aisle. I've seen this product for years now, but part of me always wondered "WHY?" I mean, they have sparkling cider already. How is this any different.

Flavor. Intense, but natural, apple flavor. The first few swings of this beverage cold are like biting down on a Red Delicious or Macintosh apple: cold, crisp and sweet as summer. After you get past the initial burst, the apple flavors fade into the background, and it's mostly cold and sweet. Still, it's worth the price of admission for the first few draughts.
