Why Redd's doesn't sell as well as Angry Orchard is beyond me. Has anyone actually bothered to sit down and try this? Not only does Redd's actually have an apple taste to it, but it's smooth, crisp, and refreshing! Just keep it refrigerated overnight, put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes, and you're in hard cider heaven!
Seriously, Angry Orchard is SO watered down compared to Redd's.

De color dorado, con una espuma jabonosa de poca retención. Cuerpo ligero y carbonatación media. Aroma manzana verde y algo de cereal. En boca tiene notas dulces y un final levemente ácido.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 10/5/2020. Pours crystal clear deep golden/orange/amber color with a 1 finger foamy off head with good retention, that reduces to thin lace cap that lingers. Some spotty soapy lacing on the glass, clinging bubbles and streaming carbonation. Aromas and flavors of big juicy red/green apples, fruit peel, citrus, grain, white sugar, light caramel and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light herbal/grassy bitterness and alcohol spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy red/green apples, fruit peel, citrus, grain, white sugar, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great robustness and balance of apples, and grain/sugar flavors; with a great malt/bitter/alcohol spiciness balance, and no cloying sweetness after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and spicy alcohol. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/acidic/syrupy/sticky mouthfeel that is great. Fairly crisp, clean and very refreshing. Zero warming 5% ABV. Overall this is a great fruit flavored beer. All around great robustness and balance of apples, and grain/sugar flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink for the ABV with the mildly bitter/spicy alcohol finish. A very enjoyable offering without feeling too artificial. Tasted much like other malt beverages I've had, but at a session ABV.

Fruity beer is my weakness. It isn't anything special but man does it taste good. Pair a nice taste with good looks and smooth finish you have something. Not for everyone but you include fruit and I am interested.

This brew describes itself in its name, “apple ale”. The smell is there on apples and does carry the apple taste as well with a slight beer taste on the back end. You get what you pay for here, an apple ale. Not really expensive, but nothing really extravagant.

Didn’t know it was a Miller product until after but that sure helps explaining why this was pure piss. Just awful. If you want apple, drink a cider. No thanks, never again. Thanks for playing.

Smell of apple juice
Clear golden color
Light mouthfeel
Medium carbonation
Tastes like a watered down apple juice
Overall it delivers on what it says it is. Refreshing for hot days.

Really hard to rate because it’s a delicious sparkling apple juice but it’s not a cider and it’s for sure not a beer. Or an Ale. This Might be good for breakfast.

I tried this one not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. Had a sweet apple taste. But not too sweet. Easy to drink, I would gave to rate it just a tick above average.
