Pounder from Press online. Sat in the fridge for a while till I got around to working on my backlog.
Pint glass at home after a storm & some weed-whacking.
Clear, light to medium light gold, quickly dissipating soda head.
Citra, elderberry, & intense floral & fruit punch notes on the nose.
Semi-sweet & tart eating apples upfront with a mellow but lingering grassy & oily citrus middle. Pear & elderberry deeper flavors. Low to mid-low tannins, medium low acidity, snappy tartness, very slight Lysol.
Juicy, thin, lightly medicinal & very slightly astringent. Consistent forced carb & not too bold abv.
Good. On the better end of hopped ciders. Just a little weak with the apple blend.

Not quite as dry as I’d hoped, but nicely hop balanced.

At the brewery. Pours a clear yellow color. A big floral nose, clear dusty hops and apples. Sweet initially, musty funky hops, light funky apples. Very nice.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy yellow gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is apple, pear, earth. Thin body, tart apple, tannin, light dry finish, very good.

Bottle from Boise Co-op. Flat pour, pale, clear golden body. Hops add a mustiness to the Apple aroma. Taste is mostly apple, mildly tart, some lemon/ citrus notes and gentle bitterness from the hops. Mostly a straight up cider, with some minor accents that put this over the top.

On Tap at the Garden City cidery. A littel hazy, this one, the hops are a littel soapy in the aroma, and indeed citrusy and light. this is a cider though, and not really near the "pale ale" that is suggested on the menu. Still, nicely parlayed in to the cider and does not take over.
