8.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 9 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 9
Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a pretty gold with no head. Crazy unique nose: Tart acidic apple aromas with lemon, smoke and duck fat. Light body, tannic...funky horse blanket. Umami, more apple on the palate. Like dried apples, musty and funky. Lowish carbonation, but a lot of flavor. Really enjoyable. --- Beer merged from original tick of The Basque on 28 Sep 2017 at 21:12 - Score: 8. Original review text: Very interesting cider. Tart acidic apple nose with lemon, smoke and duck fat. Light body, tannic...funky horse blanket. Umami, more apple.

Bottle at the RateBeer DC Cider tasting. Apple, fizzy. Poured at probably the appropriate height outside. Hazy golden color with a small head that dissipated quickly. Aroma was apples, light yeast notes. Flavor was slightly fizzy apple notes. Light apple peel.

Bottle - Lots of funk and farmhouse notes. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Lots of horse blanket and a light acidity and dry finish. Very nice.
