Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Thick, medium to strong smell syrupy smell of apple pulp. Hints of Lager
Initial Taste: mild bite, apple taste (Very little lager/beer taste)
After Taste: Taste finishes with an apple tingle, somewhat syrupy. Not a long lingering aftertaste
On ice:  Less carbonation bubbles, but more carbonation to drink.  A touch tartar then not on ice.

Additional Notes:  We could call MadJack – Hard Core apple Lager 2.0 of their original version.  More kick (in the form of 7 vs 5% ABV) however, not much difference other than a little more tang and carbonation when on ice (which is different than traditional).
