Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of florist shop, cedar shavings, and browned yellow apple with a velvety, lively, spritzy, dryish medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish displaying impressions of baked and lightly spiced yellow apple and cedar plank. A sweet and sexy cider that comes with a sweet sugary intro and satisfies with a crisp swallow.

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.
