Straw green color. Aromas and flavors of roasted golden apple, pear, sweet lemon, and cedar and caramel with a supple, crisp, spritzy, dry light-to-medium body and a smooth, interesting, breezy finish revealing accents of apple blossom, fresh pear, candied lemon and canned pineapple, gummi worms, and confectioners sugar.

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.
