I am listening to On Point’s (NPR) episode on hard cider right now. I know from hearing a bit of this on the radio earlier that a caller will call in about Blue Bee. I happen to have this in the fridge and I cannot imagine a less appropriate beverage for the evening. Half liter bottle from Beer Run. Pours a clear golden amber with a thin head that quickly fades. Aroma of earth, pepper, dry apple, melon, hints of berry. The taste is dry apples, tart apples, vanilla, butterscotch, currants in the finish. Medium bodied, moderate spritzy carbonation, good balance. Such fanfare... 8600th rating!
