Booze Reviews: Woodchuck Fall Cider

I am not a fan of Woodchuck's regular Draft Cider. I find it far too dry and I don't think it can hold a candle to a fine brew like Hornsby's. But this...this fall cider...is a boozy-revelation. Much like my experience with the Pear Cider (made from that accursed fruit that I once held in such contempt) this expression has opened my eyes by capturing all the best tastes of fall and mixing them with alcohol.

Fall is my favorite season...maybe. In actuality I think I love whatever season I am in; unless that season is causing me to alternatively freeze/sweat my balls off. Fall doesn't do that to me so I love fall. Now Fall pushes it some nights by crawling it's icy fingers under my covers, but since it also allows me to sit outside in the comfortably-cool weather and enjoy a nice cigar and a fine alcoholic beverage like this one, I'll let it slide. The best part about fall? Burning leaves!

Little Known Fact: Al Gore live on the tears of small children.

Every year the mid-west ups it carbon footprint by another gazillion-foot-pound-mega-ton-gallons by burning leaves, while Al Gore sits in his McMansion and cries another crocodile tear (luckily he's able to dry them with Carbon Credits). Now, I don't know how you feel about burning leaves and I don't really care either because that aroma is an unforgettable part of my childhood. When you ride your bike through town and smell the burning leaves - that's how we knew it was Fall. I have some very warm feelings about those first moments of bi-cyc-ular freedom and so fall always holds a special place in my heart.

Which is why I love Woodchuck's Fall Cider. They've made a very solid beverage that has all the best fall spice and they even got that sweetness into just the right place - not syrupy and not too dry. Even my wife, who hates beer and can barely stand cider, loves this stuff. It's only available during October so get your hands on some while you can. I'm going to stock up.
