A lightly hazed blonde cider with fine bubbling, no head. In aroma, super complex mix of apple pulp, Brett, foliage, and lactic notes. In mouth, superb cider, where apple pulp meets fresh cheese, burning leaves, light peaty character, very nice. On tap at Farmhouse Vermont.

On tap at Meridian Pint’s DC Beer Week Cider Event. Pours a clear, straw, honey gold with one ring of white head. Nose has a ton of funk, lots of cheese, like brie baked with honey, very horsey too, some grass. Flavor follows on, very wild, sweet, honey, apples, grass, super cheesy, yogurt, a little almond. Sweet and cheesy finish. This is like a cider, mead and gueze had a threesome.

2010 bottle shared by Tar at Wood Shop. Golden orange with a very nice, very funky nose with ripe apples and dust. Bretty, yeasty with funk and dust on top of sweet tasting apples, like a granny smith. Best cider I’ve had to date. Wonderful.

2010 bottle (Local Bottlestore). Gold - clear first glass, bottom of the bottle is getting towards opaque. Large mousse dissipates quickly leaving small islands of bubbles. Aroma is woody - like a freshly sawn apple tree - and earthy with sweet apples underneath, some tropical fruit too. Taste is slightly sweet at first with some honey as well as fruit, then tart apples and wood. Only dryish at the end. Lightish body with lots of carbonation that spoils the show for a while. But once it settles down, this is very good.

Refrigerated corked and capped 5.5% abv 2010 green bottle poured into a white wine glass. Pours hazy golden with no head. Warning gusher! No lacing, medium body, extreme carbonation (after removing the cap the cork started to slide out), and funky yeast aroma. Taste is complex slightly tart apple, some funky yeast, hint of chemical, and some oak. Great cider.

750 c&c (2009) from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Purs gold with a foamy/fizzy/transient white head. Aroma of mixed, slightly cooked (or very ripe) apple skins. Near medium body. Lightly sweet, astringent, finishing with a touch of ripe mushy apple. Not quite so tasty as the non-organic.

Muddy tan. Blasted out of the bottle. Looks a little rough, really. The aroma is quite farmy, with pedio, leather and apple skins. Starts sweetish, with some nice sugars, then finishes with more tartness. There remains sweetness underlying, however. The apple taste is fresh, with a little bit of acidic bite and a skin-like note. Very drinkable, and refreshing. Pretty good example of French cider.

2010 375ml from New Beer. 4.5% abv. Poured into a Ommegang chalice. Cork put a small dent in my ceiling after only a half twist of the cage. Big, fizzy, faltering head. Regenerative froth. Insanely active gold body. This thing is pissed off! Hard to smell it because of so much CO2 filling up my nose. Minerally, apple peel, & sulfur. Finally settling down a tad, I get fragrant, floral apple flesh, creamy/concentrated apple juice, & just enough acidity. Taste is lighter then the smell would suggest. Sizzling, but softly beaded carbonation. Bittersweet apples & unripened tart fruit flesh. Thin. A bit yeasty. Lots of wood. Big, lingering vanilla finish. Not as good as the regular stuff(& vastly different at every turn), but it’s still pretty tasty as far as ciders go.
