Bottle pour and draft at Craft Brewed. Brightwood is a new cidery in Nashville. Pours a clearish straw with a bit of white head that lingers, then dissipates. The bottle pour had a bit more head and carbonation. Light lemon and tart apple aromas with pear and bit of mild funk and hay as it warms up. Leans dry on the palate, but a little bit of fruit sweetness to balance the dry notes. Very refreshing. Draft had a bit less flavor than the bottle and seemed to come off closer to a sparkling water. Both finish with a welcome dryness. Too many American ciders are sugar bombs. I really like the recipes and process being used by Brightwood. Looking forward to future batches and ciders. Would love to see more farmhouse and funk notes like the great British and French ciders. A good start though. Draft: 3.5 Bottle: 3.8
