Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Medium aroma. Sweet, bright, red apples. Smooth pear-like aroma.
Initial Taste: Light bite. Smooth, clean and lightly flavoured apple.  Some naturally sweet elements with a fresh, juicy taste, but very thin-bodied (because no added sugar). Red delicious-like red apple notes.  Minimal acidic and tannin. Very delicate.
After Taste: Clears out quite quickly. Waxy red peel note than wanes.
On ice: A little less body but little change.

Additional Notes:  Reinhart’s Red Apple Light Cider 0g Sugar is a fully dry offering. Tastes like a thin apple juice – basically no detectable fermentation or alcohol elements. A clean, red delicious-like apple flavour is present. This is a fresh-juice inspired, lower calorie (130/can) offering with not many tannic or acidic elements. Has a very thin body and short flavour profile – likely from the no sugar in the cider.
