51/100) ACE Joker

I have set myself the goal to review three beers or ciders every week for 100 weeks. I will be learning about beer and ciders more as I do this, and if I am successful in this venture, I will have tried about 300 unique drinks. If you're curious how I'm doing, the number in the post's title tells you which week I am in now.

Joker, Berry, Apple Honey

I should have made this a four beer set, because then I would held a nice four-of-a-kind, aces high. Three of a kind, isn't half-bad though. How's your hand?

Joker) Raising this one up to an almost 7% ABV, Ace didn't joke around with this one. The finish is dry and the flavors light. I'm not quite sure of the merits of something tasting this light and yet hitting so hard, but the bottle's text claims that was the intent. ☆☆☆☆

Berry) What happens if you leave a ACE berry cider in your cellar for over a year? Apparently a lot of good things. This berry cider has strawberry, blackberry, and raspberry juices in it, but mine had become mostly tart. The strawberry remained just enough to touch on the initial, but the finish was a mix of delightful sourness with subtle blackberries. I might try and intentionally age some ciders this time around. ☆☆☆☆

Apple Honey) This one was exactly what it says. The flavors were dominated by a fair amount of honey sweetness and the apple was light. The only unexpected part was the fairly dry finish. ☆☆☆
