Poured from bottle. Clear blonde with no head. Mild apple skins, gentle citrus hops, not picking up much apricot though. Okay.

Smells of nice sweet apricot and hops, has a clear yellow body with no head. Flavour is a nice hop and apricot mix, good balance and it works well. Mouthfeel has nice crispness from the carbonation. Highly drinkable.

750 ml swing top bottle. Pours a hazy light gold with light head and lots of carbonation. Aromas of lemony soap and dry apples. Flavors of plasticy dry fruit, citrus and more old apples. Not a fan.

Taster from the bottle on BC Cider Fest 2017. Pours a hazy very pale golden with almost no head. Aroma is hops and stone fruits. Quite dry, low sweet taste. Good balanced.

Bottle. It’s a hazy pale golden cider with some white bubbles on top. The aroma is a nice blend of apricot and orangey hops, with some apple in the back. The flavor is pretty much the same, with a bit less apricot than in the aroma. It’s dry and medium bodied, softly carbonated and with a faint bitterness. Lasting apricot and apple finish. A really pleasant cider. Interesting mix of ingredients..170128

Bottle - Apple, grass and a light stone fruit sweetness. Cloudy gold with almost no head. Light acidity up front with some apple and fruity notes that is quickly taken over by some tannins and a dry fruity finish. I think I see where they are going, they just didn’t quite make it.

Bottle at Salt Spring Wild, pours a hazy blonde with tons of sediment - looks pretty nasty really. Aroma is aggressive on the hops, with a ton of the Cascades coming through, with subdued dry apples. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of dry floral hops that are rather astringent. Yeasty and messy. This is not a good example of a hopped cider.
