On tap at Sea Cider. Pours clear gold. Plenty of dry apple skins, gentle funk, and a touch of caramelized sugars. Flavour is bone dry, loads of crisp apple skins, gentle effervescence, and a surprisingly tart finish. Very nice dry cider.

750ml swing-top bottle. Pours a clear gold with a medium, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Aroma of apple skin, leather and funky yeast. Semi-sweet flavour of green apple skin, lemon rind, vinegar, white wine, floral and earthy yeast in a crisp, bone dry, acidic finish. Medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Interesting and well done.

Soft orange gold body and strong carbonation but no foam. Soft sweet apple with a hint of twig. Flavour is good dry apple, not sweet at all. Very crisp. Could use a bit more punch but still very well done.

Bottle at CiderWISE, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Nose is subtle, with some wild yeast and dry apples. Flavour is bone dry, with quite a high farmhouse funk factor, mouth-drying apples, and medium acidity. The funk is very pleasing, complementing the dryness expertly. Couldn't drink much of this, due to the huge dryness, but it's very well-done.

Refrigerated 75 cl clear bottle capped with flip top. Aroma is very light apple, medium body, no carbonation, and no lacing. Taste is light apple and dry finish. Expected more based on ratings, but a big fan of dry ciders.

Bottle at the cidery, 7.2% ABV
Deep blond color. Nice aroma of apples with light vinegary note. Dry mouthfeel, weak body; too acidic, with some vinegar and acetone. A bit astringent in the end, lemony.
Not very elegant.

Bottle - Tart and almost barnyard apple notes. Clear gold with no head. Earthy with hay and some real funk. Sweet but has a dry finish.

Bottle courtesy of ajax25g to celebrate government shutdown day 4, and also his finding a new job in DC, an odd combo. Bottle. Bright clear gold color, champagne head. Aroma of earthy apples, raw bread dough. Taste is dried apple skins, dried lemon skins, bone dry finish. Very tasty.

Resealable 750 from letspour dot com. May 11, 2012 sticker on the bottom. Tall Rare Vos tumbler.
Muddled, mellow gold body. Quick spritz. Solid activity.
Yeasty, green, acidy, fermenting floral/grass/mulch-like funk.
Tin-y, twangy, & a touch sour. Sour apple chips & a little spicy zest. Prickly carbonation. Dry mouth. Hidden alcohol. Tart, yeasty, vanilla finish.
Good, but not $20 good.
