Apple Juice

Greetings!:

For something somewhat lighter, perhaps more "bloggish," yet hopefully not unimportant, are there any of you who, like myself, remember the days when store-bought
apple juice tasted like _FRUIT_ _JUICE_, not like some sort of overly-sweet syrup?  I do, and I am not just talking about the fine juice our school's cider
press produced during my early days there!  I wonder if this perceived change has anything to do with the apparent popularity of the rather-sweet red delicious
apple.  I obviously could (and maybe will) check into this, but I seem to recall hearing somewhere that this apple was genetically engineered, and may
not have been around for very long comparatively speaking.  If this is so, and if red delicious apples are now primarily used for apple juice, this could
conceivably account for the blandness, in my opinion, of much such juice I have tasted of late.  Does anyone know of any apple juices, preferably in 64-ounce
bottles, which have some character to them, that is a distinctly-fruitish flavour?  Nantucket Nectars produce what they call a "cloudy apple" juice, which
has plenty of character as far as I am concerned, but this only comes in smaller bottles, as apparently all their product does.  I recently was introduced
to the New Zealand Braeburn apple in an organic version from a company called Nature's promise, and like it very much, but their organic apple juice, which
I am now trying for the second time, seems to have only a _VERY_ little character above its competitors (if that, I having finished the bottle since I originally wrote this post, and unsuccessfully tried to have it published), so where does that leave us?  I recall enjoying
some of the flavour of White House apple juice, so must try it again next to remind myself if character comes with that likeable aspect.  There may still be a
frozen concentrated Granny-Smith apple juice, but I think it was somewhat troublesome to prepare, so would prefer not to have to fall back on that.
 A number of the juices and juice blends I currently buy tend to be at least somewhat acidic, so it would be nice to have something like apple juice for
contrast, though _PLEASE_ not these overly-bland versions I seem to encounter too often nowadays!  Perhaps another and better organic juice awaits at Whole
Foods, or the Knudsen Apple Juice I bought this past Tuesday, again after this post initially failed to publish successfully?

 

Hoping this finds you well,
