Monday Beer Review of The Week: Woodchuck Draft Cider

I must admit this week I was feeling a bit uninspired for beers this week, so I have deviated from our normal beer review and have opted for a hard cider this week. I chose one of the most common hard ciders, most people have heard of Woodchuck Draft Cider and from my experience not a lot of people have actually tried it. It often has the reputation of being a “foofoo” drink. But it does have some interesting flavors, since the primary ingredient is Granny Smith apples it has the bold refreshing taste of the apple. The sweetness of the apples helps to mask the alcohol flavor, now for some this may be but I do like that distinctive base flavor that the alcohol gives to the drink. I did enjoy drinking this cider, but I do not think that I will be returning to it as I have some of the other beers that I have reviewed on this site.
