Initial Taste: Medium bite with slight tingle from carbonation. Starts of sweet with fruity notes. Some peach and cranberry flavours.
After Taste: Finishes with apple cider flavour characteristics. Slightly tart and malty tasting. Some pear flavour notes. Short lived flavour profile with a dry end.
On ice: Ice cuts the carbonation and the sour and sweet notes. Flavour is weakened but becomes smoother to consume.

This 401 Brewery Cider has a complex composure of flavours that makes it quiet unique to other flavoured Ontario ciders available.
