The name Shacksbury sounded familiar to me as coming from Montreal most US TV coming from the USA was broadcast out of Vermont. I grabbed a can and yes it said Vermont. Nostalgia combined with the fact it’s a collaboration with Other Half made me pick this up: Shacksbury Cider x Other Half Arlo Dry-Hopped cider 6% Pale cloudy gold with a tangy lightly lactic aroma featuring must funk and Citra hops. The taste isn’t so complex or cider like, more like an solid American sour beer with apple mostly coming through following the dry finish in the aftertaste. Pretty good though I’m not too sold on dry-hopped ciders as I’ve yet to have a really great one.

16oz can pours out pale straw topped with a fizzy white head. Nose is light citrus hops some floral tart apples and some funky notes. Taste is more of the nice tart apples light hop notes and a horse blanket note almost.

Tall boy pack from Appalachian Vinter in NC. Really nice store. Two bars, is also a wine shop & sells lots of other little provisions. Stemless wine glass @ home away from home. Quick sizzle, opaque, pineapple juice sort of color. Saturated melon/lilac/powder/fresh meadow-y grass, arid apple, less typical dry hop scent; Really nice. Maybe a little overwhelming on your 3rd top off? Taste is bitter & mostly dry apple, baby powder, big lilac/lavender-esque florals, light bitter-green essence. Rounded at first, maybe too rounded, it is dry & dusty middle on, with a relieving snap of bitter citrus rind on the finish. Alcohol is noticeable, but having two isn't a problem. Maybe I'm jaded, but this just comes off just slightly funky. Might not be better than OG Arlo (which had more bite), but the dry hop & subtle ferment changes sure make it interesting.

16 oz can from Tavour, 4/25/20. Pale gold pour, thin white head. Super funky aroma, barnyard, tart apple, a little lemon. Funky, bright cider. Nice complexity. Really solid. 8/3/7/4/16

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clearish, glowing straw color with a finger of white foam that dissipates instantly. Lovely funky, farmy nose with wet hay, barnyard, fresh squeezed citrus and pear aromas. Light pineapple as it warms. Crisp and clean, light and refreshing on the palate with more pear, apple lingering tangerine floral flavors. Dry and farmy finish. Very nice.

16 oz. Aroma is bretty, old books, basement, apples, floral, medicinal. Pours hazy pale yellow with some fleeting white foam. Taste is moderately sour, funky, medicinal. Interesting AF, that is for sure.
