On tap at Taves Estate, pours a clear blonde, no head. Nose has plenty of bourbon and vanilla, with soft apple skins. Flavour is fairly dry, with lots of bourbon, vanillin, and dry apple skins. Finishes fairly dry but without enough residual sugar to bring that out bourbony vanillin. Very nice.

Bottle from the cidery, listed at 11.2% ABV. No foam but okay carbonation, lighter pale gold body. Nice sweet grocery store apple on the nose with soft wood notes. Lots of wood, soft chewy apple, tannins galore, bourbon character arrives very late but it's welcome. Slightly boozy but eleven percent is very well hidden. Could be more complex, still pretty good.
