Tasting at Matt’s; batch 1
Cloudy pale blond color. Very sour cider, the rustic character raises a bit the interest, it’s lemony, a bit funky, and salty; I wouldn’t think of peach if I didn’t know.
Interesting experiment, average result from a pleasure point of view.

Cloudy and very pale green. Aroma is fresh complex apple, dash of peach, light alcohol, has a dry, tannic apple note, and the pea h is this subtle influence. Fun cider.

Bottle - pours yellow fizzy white head - nose/taste of peach, sour tart apple, oak, light bourbon and vanilla - medium body - A touch too acidic.

Bottle - Funky apple and a touch of vegetal notes. Cloudy yellow gold and no head. Tart sweet and light peach notes with some acidity. Vegetal notes really take away from this.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy very pale blonde with no head. Nose is very complex, with rustic funky notes, some sweet peach, bourbon and light vanilla. Flavour has a lot going on, with notes of tart peaches, some vanilla, a touch of bourbon and a tart apple skin finish. Very tart, with a very pear and apple skin-dominated finish. Not as complex or enjoyable as the average ratings suggest so far, but very interesting and certainly unique. Solid stuff.

6oz Glass at Brouwer’s, 11/8/15.
Excited to finally try a Millstone cider, and it did not disappoint. Golden-apple juice-like appearance shows moderately-high clarity. Small ring of bubbles, with light carbonation noted.
Certainly smells as if it’s going to be sweet, in the nose, but the bourbon is classy here, which is a real treat and there’s plentiful peach character and even some spicy apple notes. Light cinnamon-like phenols, vanilla and just a hint of wood.
Sweet, lightly syrupy at first, but with both the bourbon and wood drying things out. Some acidity from the peaches and apples kick in as well, but it certainly remains on the sweet side, overall. Which is fine and it’s a nice change of pace as I usually rarely drink sweet beverages. By no means cloying and with the bourbon done very reservedly, yet still adding complexity. The apples emerge more and more as it warms and help offset the stronger peachiness. Quite enjoyable, hoping to try more from Millstone!

Light peach here that mixes very nicely with apples. Tangy finish. White wine color. Good balance and good character. Bottle pour at Glen’s.
