Pale gold, bubbly, seriously dry. Richly aromatic, suggesting myriad fruits of the earth, and the earth itself, with a complex, palate-cleansing balance of fruitiness, astringency, and acid. Alcohol content 7.5% by volume. Full cork closure, 750 ml. bottle. Delicious with many foods, much as the driest champagne can be.

C&C 750 mL bottle from Beer Run. Pours a clear vibrant golden color with lots of carbonation that keeps a thin head afloat for a bit. Aroma of very sweet apples with a light tartness and some faint vanilla. The taste is dry apples, tart and slightly vinous with a slight Concord grape thing going on. Medium bodied, crisp.

Sampled at the 2013 Chicago Cider Summit. Pours a clear light gold with no head whatsoever. Aroma has a real nice full dry apple note with a bit of sweetness coming in. Aroma is much more dry with a good amount of earthy apple and a strong dry finish.

Poured a few glasses for myself while serving patrons at some fest in the Lexington Armory. Clear, pale wheat yellow/gold. Champagne-like active. Dusty dry fruit & cores on the nose. Earthy, grassy, minerally. Surprisingly bittersweet skin-y taste upfront, however quick. Though the actual texture through to the finish is so very dry. Faintly yeasty & minerally. Cooling... wintergreen mint? Plush, microbeaded carbonation. Subtle twang near the finish. Light alcohol burn. Awesome stuff. There should be a different scale for dryness just for Farnum Hill. Only their dooryard stuff seems to stray.

10/13/13: @Jimmy43s. Vibrant, clear, 14k gold body. Smells of dry apple & pears. Apricots & chardonnay. Maybe a bit stuffy & sulfurish. Taste is tannic, sharp, & sourish with unripened fruit. Mildly tart. Iron-y. Woody. Big acid. Mellow, but apparent alcohol. Drying. Refreshing. 4.0

Location: Cask at Jimmy's No 43, 9/14/09
Part of the Gotham Cask Festival

Overall Impression: Swung by Jimmy's the day after the Cask Festival ended, and this was the one remaining cask they still had going, so I figured I'd give it a sampling. An interesting cider, but not a style I'm particularly in love with. Tasty and drinkable, just not something I like to drink regularly.

Bottle. Pours with a clear yellow body and a withering white ring. Aroma of strong dry apples, light sweetness, cork and earth. Taste is bone dry with sulfur...dry, dry, dry... tannic with a touch of citrus. Bubbly, but not super lively bubbles.

Re-Rate: Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a clear golden body and no head. Funky and sharp aroma with plastic, phenolic notes, slightly sweet and very tannic. Taste is Very dry, tannic, earthy, light acidity. Mouthpuckeringly dry, high, champagne like carbonation.

Thanks to JoeMcphee for sharing. Completely clear, Bud Light, macro yellow color. Aroma is alcoholic apple, were the alcohol is just enough to be felt but not overpowering. Taste is really not sweet with just hints of cider. A very fizzy mouthfeel but works well here. Aftertaste is light granny smith. And when they say extra-dry, they really do mean it. A nice experience, I may give this cider thing more of a try.

Thanks to JoeMcphee for sharing - clear, light gold, headless cider - earthy apple skin aroma, with some white wine-ish tannins - mouth-puckering, tongue-lashing dry quality, with a hint of lambic-like wildness well contained in the background - I’d take this over champagne any day.
