Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of white flowers, garden hose water, green and yellow apple, and light caramel syrup with a velvety, tangy, spritzy, dry light-to-medium body and a tingling, delightful, medium-length finish with accents of crab apple, green apple and flowers, caramel, and biscuit dough. A lovely everyday Cider that you would want to have on draft at the corner bar; simple, comforting, and easy to pair with food or another dram.

Common ciders range in alcohol from 4-8% and typically feature dominant apple aromas and flavors. Most are not dry, but also not cloying, with a sweet, medium body and acidity. This style is what the majority of consumers associate with hard cider. The descriptor 'common' is in reference to the types of apples used to produce these ciders, rather than in reference to its quality of ready availability. Common ciders are produced from culinary table apples, typically including varietals such as Golden Delicious, Jonathan and Macintosh to name a few.
