  Speaker 4: I really don't drink ciders a whole lot. I don't
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: like the cider aftertaste. But the fruitiness up front.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Is so good.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Like, that's pretty damn tasty.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Tastes like wine. That must be the mulled wine part.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That's pretty good, though.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: A lot of ciders taste like that, though.

  Speaker 4: Apple Curse, Blood Orange, and Headless Pumpkin.

  Speaker 5: Yeah.

• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I remember right.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: And it wasn't like mystery flavor. Let's see. Uh, I'm
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: not going to look it up. Actually, I could look
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: it up.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I was taking a look at the, the box itself.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: So on the side of the box, it looks like VHS.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Like it has the, they're labeled like movies. That it
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: looks so cool.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: It is. It's pretty sweet.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: The blood orange is like a VHS themed one.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Like the blood orange can has a VHS tape on it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: So last year, yeah.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Jason universe, Friday, 13 branding with a glow in the dark,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: 12 can variety pack, blood orange, Barry bewitched, headless pumpkin,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: sinful apple. And then, you know who had the Michael Myers?
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: It was a new Belgium. They got the Michael Myers pack,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: the hoppy Halloween, whatever you want to call it. That's
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: their mashup this year.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Well, No, it's Voodoo Ranger.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Did I not say Voodoo Ranger?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: No.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Did I say New Belgium?
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, New Belgium Voodoo Ranger.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, that is New Belgium.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: It's got the Michael Myers and the... Dude, Voodoo Ranger
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: is so cool. I love that pop, too. The pop
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: is awesome. Every time I think about having it, it's like, dude,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: it's so cool. Yeah, he looks great. When they brought
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: him out in a pop, I was like, dude, we
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: got to get this immediately.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Look at that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: So cool.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: He's the tits, man.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, no, this thing is like super, it's fruity,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: but it has a wine taste to it. And then
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: it has that cider aftertaste. The fact that it's only
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: 5% is wild. Cause it does taste like it's got
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: a little bit more to it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't taste overly sweet.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Like sometimes with these ciders, they're just, the taste is
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: very sweet.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think this one has that.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: It's got the berry, the fruit up front. And then
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: followed by the wine and that little drier taste towards
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the end. But yeah, not too sweet.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: You do have some that are just incredibly over the
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: top sweet.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Like you're drinking a dessert, right?
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: And it gets, it does kind of rot out your
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: stomach a little bit. You know what I'm saying?
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: It's a, it gets after you. So, but, but yeah, no,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: it's a cool little 12 pack. You got this over
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: at Kroger or?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Kroger.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Which is like what? 18 bucks. Yeah. Something like that.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Nothing crazy.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: So it's, and it's a variety of colors. It's a
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: cool variety pack. You get four different kinds of ciders,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: which is my favorite. Get three by four, man, or
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: four by three, whatever way you want to go with that.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's awesome.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: It's pretty damn tasty. So according to Vice, they say
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: it's a blueberry pomegranate. And then according to Takeout, whatever
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that is, they're saying blackberry and darkberry punch is the flavor,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: is what they're kind of.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I think it is a little bit of blackberry in there.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: It has a fruit punch taste, too.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: You want to take a guess at what the untapped
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: score is?
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: This is on untapped?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: On untapped. 2.4. Well, no. Out of 764 ratings, got
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: a 3.63 out of 5.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Interesting. I mean, it's not bad.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: I thought about going high, but they bomb seltzers and ciders.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what?
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: I think ciders get a pass. They don't let, they
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: don't let seltzers go by easy, but yeah, ciders, I
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: think get.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: A pass on that on untapped. So yeah, should have
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: thought about that.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: But I mean, I, I'd probably give it like a,
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: hold on.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Let me take another swig. All right.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: One more swig. It's quite refreshing. I know my score.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I'd give it a three.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I was going to go three and a quarter.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: It's pretty good.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: It's, it's, I'm not, it's, I'm not a cider guy.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: I don't like ciders, but I don't mind the, the, the,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: the juiciness, the fruitiness. Um, I don't mind the wine either,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: but yeah, the wine boy.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, it's getting me right back there.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: I like having a cider every once in a while.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Like I've got some, you know, in the fridges. Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Uh, there was one night when we were, uh, doing
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: some late night stuff and we're just grabbing random stuff.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I've got a cider here. Let
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: me grab one.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Um, why not? You know, I'll have one every once
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: in a while. And it's, if it's there, cool. Uh,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: but all in all, not bad. Now I'm not going
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to go. I bought this cause it's a Halloween pack.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: It's got the ghost face to scream class.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: If it's not for that, I'm not going to go
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: and buy it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I don't seek out ciders. All the ciders I have
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: are themed for something in particular.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Uh, cause, I still have some of last year's in
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: my fridge here in my office.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: But yeah, all in all, not bad. Pretty damn tasty.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I gave it three and a quarter.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Even though I'm not a cider guy, I'm still going
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: to respect what it is and give it a score.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I actually do enjoy it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Not terrible. But yeah, you're right.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: We buy these if it's like a Halloween or Christmas
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: type thing pack. If it's like something cool. we don't
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: really drink ciders any other time of the year, but yeah,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: I'm with you. I was like in the fridge, like
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: the other day, I was like, you know what? I
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: got to get some rid of some of these rando beers.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: I started, I was like knocking back just randos the
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: other day. It's like, yeah, 9% or let's go. I'm
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: going to tie one on.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to, let's do this. So I'll pick
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: thumbs up. I'll have it next year.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: There we go.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I got three more to have this year.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Not bad. Yeah.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: We still got to do the reviews on the other three.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: So stay tuned for that. Who knows when we'll do them.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: We might do them in October. We might do them
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: in December. Maybe we'll do them in February.

• 8:42
  Speaker 2: do what we want. But as always, guys, I'm Alan.
• 8:45
