Crisp, very light golden coloured body with a thin pure white glow that fades very fast - just like soda. Aroma of apples, pears, citrus, a touch of grass and dry yeast and a light note of herbs and perfume. Light-bodied; Sharp granny smith apple flavour of the green apples, a bit of citrus and a lot of dry grass with the yeast and fresh apples around. Aftertaste shows fresh apples and pears, a touch of citrus and a little dry earth and sweetness throughout. Overall, a nice and refreshing beer with some light bitterness and the smallest amount of hops, but mainly a fresh and refreshing cider with the green apples the strongest flavours throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Beer Run in Charlottesville, Virginia on 26-February-2017 for US$2,00 sampled at home in Washington on 28-August-2017.

Apple, mint, grass aroma, fairly strong. Crystal clear pale yellow, visible carbonation. Minty hops and apple. Light body, harsh mouthfeel. Very interesting, tasty. Well conceived.

On tap at Bold Rock. Apples, obviously, with a good hop bite. Lightly sweet with bits of grapefruit hops, pine, vanilla (perhaps). Tasty.

Draft at Spacebar. Poured a clear, very light green-yellow hued color, like just a few drops of color in a clear liquid. Aroma was light tart apples. Light tart sweet notes. Not a lot of hop character. Tasty though.

4 oz pour on draft at Spacebar. Clear whitish yellow. Aromas of apples, light floral, soapy notes. Tastes of sugary notes, light tart apples. Light body with a dry finish. Very subtle as far as the hops go, easy drinking cider otherwise.
