Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours clear pale gold with minimal white head. The aroma is musty, earthy, barnyard, sweet apple, some sulphur and a hint of butter. The taste is smooth, crisp, some acidity, bright apple sourness, pear, white grape, gooseberry and sherbet with a dry finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. Nice tart edge to it. Not particularly complex, but not bad.

Bottle shared at the Watford tasting, many thanks to Leighton for this one. Aroma is funky, apple, farmyard, slightly musty. Flavour is composed of dry apple, woody tannin, plastic, woody, tannin, funky farmyard musty apple. Palate is super dry and crisp, tangy woody dry finish. Really interesting funky cider. Good stuff.

Bottle shared in Watford - picked up in VT. Vintage 2011. Pours clear gold with a small, white foam head. The nose has dried apples, good funky notes, musty basement. Light sweet flavor, bone dry, with some herbal notes, apple skins. Light bodied, fizzy. Super dry on the finish, with more apple skins, musty funk,blight acidity, lemon peel. Nice stuff.

22 oz. can bottle thanks to the CT crew at RBNE gathering, this completes my notes from that awesome event. Clear yellow without head. Aroma is rotten eggs, skunk urine and hints of Apple.

Flavor is a bit better with the urine and rotten eggs being more subdued by sparkling cider and hints of musty oak. Lightly tart. The texture is extremely dry, like champagne. If you can get past the aroma, this turned out pretty good. But if you have bottle of this, not sure how much longer you will want to hold it. Feels like it’s about to turn for the worse.

Picked this up at the December Farmers Market in Montpelier. Unfortunately, I’m not drinking this month but, as our only bottle that my GF was drinking, I tried an ounce or so to see how it measured up against other VT ciders. Crystal clear gorgeous champagne pour. 2 finger pillow top head that fades fast, bronze gold appearance. Nose is slight bad eggs / sulfur and horsey. Taste is very crisp. Not too in your face and 7.5% is hidden very well. this is not my favorite cider but it’s a very pleasant taste that makes you want more.
