On tap at Blue Bee, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of apple core, with a touch of skins. Flavour tastes like rotting apple core, with a bit of hops in there. Lacking cohesion. Not a fan.

500ml bottle, purchased from Glen’s Garden Market. Poured a clear yellow color with no real head to speak of. Aroma is lots of herbal hop notes, with a touch of light bitter, crab apple notes. Flavor is very dry, wine like notes. Almost a woody barrel notes. Interesting.

500ml bottle from Total Wine McLean pours a clear, greenish gold with some head that faded quick. First off the nose is the lemon hop character, then it finally fades into standard cider, tart apples, some juicy apples too, mild honey, lightly earthy, lightly minty. Flavor follows, sweet, crisp apple, green apple skins, mild orange, mild lemon, honey, earthy vegetal notes. Crisp finish. Scary drinkable at 8%.

Half liter bottle from Whole Foods Short Pump. Pours a crystal clear golden color with a large white fizzy head. Decent head retention. Aroma of sweet and tart apples with citrus hops and a bit of mint and earth. The taste is dry apples, pear, mild citrus and earthy hops. Medium bodied. Solid cider
