Our naturally fermented cider is a refreshing, lightly sparkling drink with a long maturation to give a smoother complexion than most commercial ciders. It is light and fruity to taste, with more complex flavours developing. Great head for a bottled cider. Clean light nose with a refreshing, crunchy palate. This is a well balanced cider with easy appley flavours.

Clear golden with minimal head. Aroma is sweet apples, apple juice, light tartness. Thin body with medium carbonation. Sweet apples, apple juice, light champagne notes, and a hint of tart apple. Easy drinking with little complexity. Decent.

Bottle. Pours with a crystal clear, medium yellow hued body with a medium sized white head that fades. Aromas are of dry apple, honey, mild sulfur, stewed/overripe fruit, champagne, toast. Lightly grassy. Flavors are medium to slightly fuller sweet, a bit flabby, low sulfur, a bit musty. Balance is not quite to my liking: acid is a touch sweet and lacking quite a bit of tannin to balance the acidity. Missing brightness. Nothing off otherwise. Tastes a bit old. Medium body and carbonation. Nothing too special.

Refrigerated 0.5 cl brown bottle poured into a white wine glass. Pours clear pale golden with very small white head. Very little lacing, medium body, syrupy texture, light carbonation, and dry apple aroma. Taste is semi-sweet apple, hint of alcohol, and finishes dry. Pretty simple, pretty good, but the dry finish doesnβt work for me.

Pour is a clear yellow with no head. Aroma is a decent apple, sugar and honey. Flavor is also very nice. Fresh blast of apple with a little sweetness but nothing overpowering. Nice cider and I canβt get over how fresh that apple is in the flavor. Like right off the tree apple flavor.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours very light gold with a few bubbles. Very light and clean aroma of apple. Nothing cooked about it. Near med body. This is both tart and sweet. Pretty astringent. Yet it finishes almost sweet. Nice drink.

Glad someone finally listed this, because all my emails just kept getting bounced back. Half liter bottle picked up for $6 @ New Beer. Left in the back of the fridge for a few months. Ommegang chalice. Clear, yellow gold body. Minimal activity. Smells of white wine, perry, & rubbing alcohol. A touch stuffed up. Taste is much more vibrant. Tart & meaty apples. Lots of waxy wood. Perry sweetness. A bit slick & alcoholic on the finish. Moderate carbonation. Low acidity. Solid stuff.

Applesauce nose, somewhat musty. Clear, pale yellow. Medium body, somewhat spritzy. Sweet and tangy. Tastes of apples stored in a damp basement. Mustiness is subtle. Good.

500 mL bottle from Beer Run. Pours a clear pale yellow color with a thin fizzy white head. Aroma of dark apple notes, sweet, with some maple, earth, vanilla and citrus characteristics. Very appealing and inviting. The taste is tart apples with a sweet finish and notes of vanilla and pear. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Very nice cider.
