Aroma
Appearance
Clear to brilliant. Color appropriate to added fruit, but should not show oxidation characteristics. (For example, red berries should give red-to-purple color, not orange.)
Flavor
The cider character must be present and must fit with the other fruits. It is a fault if the added fruit(s) completely dominate; a judge might ask, Would this be different if neutral spirits replaced the cider? A fruit cider should not be like an alco-pop. Oxidation is a fault.
Mouthfeel
Substantial. May be significantly tannic, depending on fruit added.
Overall
Like a white wine with complex flavors. The apple character must marry with the added fruit so that neither one dominates the other.
