66/100) More Woodchucks

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.
Summer Time, Cheeky Cherry, Gumption
I've noticed recently that I've tried a lot of Woodchucks. I haven't settled on an exact reason for this, but the most eccentric reason comes from my love of furry critters. Woodchuck's fall into that category of small, furry mammals. However, I'm not sure how that logically translates into me trying so many ciders. Should I blame Johnny Appleseed?

Summer) so light, the cider was nearly clear. The flavors were a touch of sweetness, and a soft linger with a breath of blueberry. I found this one to be pleasant even though I wasn't sold on it's near lack of flavor. Perhaps it'd be a nice substitute for a lemonade on a hot summer day? It's not nearly tart enough to be a perfect replacement, but it may suffice. ☆☆☆

Cheeky Cherry) It delivers exactly what it says: Sour + Cherry. Or as my sister put it, cherry cough syrup met up with sour patch kids and got thrown into a cider. Someone must like this kind of tartness. I do sometimes, but not with that much cherry flavor. It all just grew and grew into a crescendo that left my taste buds embalmed in cherry. ☆☆☆☆

Gumption) It's rather light for a woodchuck, and tartness replaced the usual sweetness. I'd swear it has cinnamon in it, but I can't tell if I am just imagining things. It reminds of what I imagine would happen if you made an apple pie with granny smith apples. A mixture that I would enjoy probably as much as this cider. Yum! ☆☆☆☆
