12 ounce bottle thanks to Mike. Pours a clear yellow color. A sweet fruity, apple flavor, smooth easy. A little bit of pine. Interesting, very clean and easy to drink.

Crystal clear, very light golden coloured body with a pale glow and no head at all - not even a soda head that dies quickly. Aroma of mint, cardboard, funk, old washclothes, wet towels and not much else. Light-bodied; Minor taste of alcohol, granny smith apples, a touch of yeast, some light sugars and not much else. Aftertaste is fairly similar - some nice apple sweetness, but no depth nor complexity, this one is pretty one-dimensional and not in a great way. Overall, not really worth trying and definitely not worth searching out for - nor spending a lot of money on. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Falls Church (Tyson’s Corner), Virginia on 31-October-2012 for US$3.49 sampled at home in Washington on 11-November-2012.

Even mix of apple, mint, and lemongrass. Crystal clear yellow. Tart apple flavor, funky phenols. Subtle fresh mint notes are detected. The phenols come awfully close to what I would identify as a flaw. Were this labeled a farmhouse cider, I would accept it as that. Since it is not, I suspect there may be an unintended infection in this sample. Either way, it is pleasant and enjoyable. I wonder if this cidery ever employs wild yeast?

Bomber from Beer Run. I believe this is the first time I’ve ever had a hopped cider. Pours a clear amber color with no head. Aroma of tart apples, apple skins, floral and peppery hops. The taste is tart apples and herbal hops. Medium bodied. Interesting, but I can’t say I’m a fan of this concept.

8/3/12. 12ozer from New Beer. Poured into a lowball. Pale gold, lacquered, & spritzy. Smells like macerated floral/catty hops & fuel. Taste is bittersweet. Lettuce-y. Hops overwhelm the underpowered, faintly tangy supermarket apples, but aren’t themselves that potent. Faint to low carbonation. Mouthwash finish. Didn’t sit well with me. Had this once last year on tap, & besides probably using different apples, the hops didn’t suffocate it right out the gate either.

Bottle (batch #6 from 3/15/12). Pours with a very pale and very clear straw hued body with a fizzy white head that fades to a ring. Aromas are fruity, pine, grapefruit, lightly mineral, pear like, resin, dry apple. Certainly unique. Flavors are odd. Slightly musty, grapefruit, grassy, mineral like. Tasty but strange. Dry apple underneath, somewhat more bitter/tannic than usual. Mild malic acidity nearly balances. Low sulfur. Medium bubbles, dry and light bodied. Unique.
