Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Medium aroma. Sweet, candied raspberry, Hint of ginger and apple.
Initial Taste: Minimal bite. Light, fresh, spritzer-like sugared raspberry, without the heavy sweetness. Light apple base, and a touch of mild ginger. 
After Taste: Dissipates quickly leaving you with an almost wheat / bready finish (might be a fault also). Ginger more noticeable in the aftertaste.  Some earthy elements that might come from the left-over ginger in the end.  
On ice: Smoother, more consistent, less ginger

Additional Notes:  The Raspberry Ginger Zinger by Growers has a very light overall flavour with a unique aftertaste. Almost bread-like in the finish, the raspberry is sweet, candied upfront but not overly sugary.  It dissipates very quickly. Minimal apple and ginger that is smoother and easy to consume (but builds in the after taste as you get through the can).  More earthy as you consume.
