Appleseed Orchard Menu & Review (Epcot Food & Wine Festival)

GF = gluten friendly, PB = plant-based, KF = kid friendly

Shannon: Generously sized, delicious proportion of apple, crust, and crumble.
Heather: Great crust – but it tastes a little commercial.
Felicia: This tastes like an average apple tart but it’s served room temperature and very much comes across as mass-produced. It feels like it should be hot.
Allyson: Nothing outstanding, but it is a very good apple pie tart.

Shannon: Delicious frozen drink with all of the elements of an apple pie in a cup.
Heather: Too sweet and also, the insides of apples are white and this drink is red so visually I feel like I’m drinking apple peels.
Felicia: Very sweet and not much else. Might be good for slushy fans, not for me though.
Allyson: Tastes like an apple pie. Kid-friendly and good non-alcoholic option.

Shannon: Heavy emphasis on the cinnamon in this drink. A little too much.
Heather: If you prefer drinks without alcohol, this is a nice option. It’s a little sweet but I guess that is par for the course for carbonated apple juice with hints of cinnamon.
Felicia: This is cold which is nice. Super sweet and not for me. I bet kids would like it, though.
Allyson: Tastes like your average apple cider, but still tasty.

Shannon: Very light and refreshing.
Heather: But more of a bite than the other ciders at this booth. Not as sweet.
Felicia: Too sweet and too apple-y. Not for cider haters.
Allyson: Pretty good and has a drier taste, which I like.

Shannon: Bourbon taste really comes through but not too strong.
Heather: Love the smell. Tastes sweet, so less refreshing and almost like a dessert cider. Is that a thing? Dessert ciders? If not – I’ve got dibs on the phrase “dessert cider”.
Felicia: Too sweet and tastes like cough syrup. Gross.
Allyson: Definitely on the sweeter side. Not my favorite cider here but good.

Shannon: Oh no. Too bitter. Didn’t pick up any apple flavor.
Heather: Great ale but I don’t taste apple. Was I lied to?
Felicia: Just tastes like nothing. So it’s fine and easy to drink. Glad to not have the apple flavor.
Allyson: I’m not sure what it is about this, but the taste is very unappealing.

Shannon: Delicious for a brown ale.
Heather: Ok. I raised my review from last year. Did the flavor improve or did I get nicer? Rich flavor. Little bit sweet. Pretty good.
Felicia: The apple flavor is mild enough to be fine. Wouldn’t order it though.
Allyson: Not a fan of brown ales. I usually love 3 Daughters, but this wasn’t my favorite.

Shannon: One of my fave ciders ever. So light and just a tad sweet.
Heather: It’s a little bit sweet. But you know what? It’s a cider and that’s all it needs to be. No muss. No fuss.
Felicia: Very sweet and very apple-y. Tastes like sparkling apple cider. Meh.
Allyson: I really liked this. Just the right amount of tart. Also refreshing. I’d get a full glass of this.

Shannon: Just the right amount of sweetness.
Heather: Definitely taste the caramel…I really like this one. It’s got a deep flavor.
Felicia: Can definitely taste the caramel and something artificial. Don’t really like it.
Allyson: If you don’t like caramel don’t get this because it’s all you can taste.

Shannon: Looks better than it tastes. Lots of strong apple flavors mixed with strong brandy.
Heather: It looks cute, smells good, too sweet for my tastes.
Felicia: This is a sugar bomb. Not really sure what the main flavor is because it just tasted like sugar. Pretty presentation though.
Allyson: I don’t like Ginger Beer and that’s all I could taste here. But it’s a good size and comes in a nice cup just like a Moscow Mule.
