On tap @ Red Bear. Clear, vibrant, medium gold pour to the brim. Creamy, caramel-y, faintly buttery & thin, cooked cider. Juicy, bitter sharp leaning dry but back sweetened. Minerally with lots of skin & water. Watered down & thin, champagne yeast, weak carb. Sad shortcut on some good apples.

750ml bottle at the December 2016 DC area cider tasting. Poured a lightly hued yellow color with a small, fizzy body and not much head to speak of. Aroma was light funky notes. Light tartness, some light berry crispness. Floral notes.
