Bottle from my local hipster catering supermarket. Rounded pint glass. Clear, pale gold body. Scent: Yeast, green apple, lemon, sand. Tastes is big on northern spy. Perfect pie apples that are super tart, super tannic & solidly sweet all at the same time. Browned flavor. Yeasties. A little sweet, maybe too sweet, but not candy sweet. Creamy texture. Really big & lengthy acid. Some oak at the end. Big flavors for a single variety, but blends always give me more.

750 ml bottle from Winooski Beverage, 7/24/15
This is a pretty nice, tart cider. The aroma is tart apple. It pours a clear, light gold. Just a hint of color keeps it from looking like water. There's a fizzy white head that dissipates quickly as well. The flavor is again tart over sweet. Fairly light bodied. Easy drinking. Lively carbonation. Enjoyed this one quite a bit. Another nice cider from Citizen.

22 oz. bottle. Crystal clear gld, almost water color. Aroma is big tart Apple and light pear fruit notes.
Flavor is nicely tart with a larger sugar candy hint. The body is light and damn refreshing. And like most ciders it is clean and fresh.

clear, light pee yellow color. fizzy bubbles fade fast. Smells incredibly tart, lots of apple just intense. Well, it’s an incredibly clean cider. the finish is like total jolly rancher. this is certainly unlike any cider...tart, intense. A really amazing cider. it lacks depth though, mouthfeel is spotty but the flavor is really interesting.
