Fresh bottle shared by Chris, 7/25/15.
Clear light-violet tinged liquid looks pretty in the glass, though carbonation is low, leaving a small off-white head that fizzles quickly.
Some apple skin, very mild plum-like sweetness and a pinch of acidity round out the rather uneventful aroma. This is not one of the naturally fermented Citizen Ciders and the straightforward, ultra-clean aroma shows of it. I’m assuming they wanted it cleaner to try to really accentuate the plum notes, but instead they just got a very boring cider.
Flavor is more of the same and add to that a very watery, undercarbonated body with an almost table sugar-like sweetness. Soft plum notes, light apple juice and dry fruit skins on the end. Just too sterile and conservative for my tastes.

Thanks AFH Pink 2 ounce pour slightly hazy but first pours are clear. Very nice aroma. The plum, cherry, acid and apple come through very well. Pleasantly tart, light, good sour taste. Plums is very light. easy drinking. goes down easy and flavor fades fast.

Poured from bottle thanks Airforcehops as part of the Farmhouse Tasting event. Clear gold pour with no head. Aromas of crisp apple hint of plum. Nice palate cleanser.
