Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Medium strawberry smell, with hints of kiwi and lime
Initial Taste: Small initial bite. Artificial flavours take over the palate. Very sweet.
After Taste: Fruit flavours really develop with strawberry and lime both very prominent, as well as kiwi. Hints of apple and vanilla. Slight tingle sensation that remains on the tongue for a while.
On ice: The flavour and carbonation remain largely the same on ice than without.

Additional Notes: Despite not being listed as a flavour, we tasted a lot of kiwi notes in the drink, reminding us of Strawberry Kiwi Snapple. We feel this beverage is more of cooler-like drink than a cider as it is sugary and very fruity.
