Adam Grieger is drinking a Baked Apple by D's Wicked Cider at Untappd at Home
Tastes exactly like apple pie. This is a great example of cinnamon in a cider done well. The added cinnamon feels natural without competing for attention. Also, they managed to capture the "flakiness" of pie crust which is impressive.

I prefer this to their standard "base" cider. Still bright and slightly acidic, but the Cosmic Crisp makes it sweeter and smoother. I get very slight notes of tropical fruit for some reason. Be careful, the ABV will sneak up on you.

This won't blow you away, but this is about as good as you can get for a raspberry cider. Raspberry-forward, excellent balance of sweetness and tartness, no weird aftertaste, and it's incredibly smooth and refreshing.

I love bourbon and cherry ciders, but this didn't do much for me. The only differences from a straight cherry cider were notes of more dark fruit and brown sugar. However, none of these things made the cherry base that much more enjoyable.

Pretty paint-by-the-numbers for a cider, but it's very smooth and easy to drink.

Adam Grieger: Not in texture, but part of it tastes like the crust of an apple pie.
