From a $2 can. Perfectly clear pale. Large carbonation bubbles and no head. Nice clean apple cider nose with a mild bouquet of vinegar. First taste is quite pleasing, its rather dry. I like this dryness for a change since so many domestic ciders are sugar bombs. Good level of carbonation too. Easy fundamental fermented apple flavor with no side effects. Everything seems positive about this brew. Maybe a tad of tartness but not what the nose would indicate. Probably one of the better made real domestic ciders I've had in a while. Reminds me of ciders of the france. Yes, maybe it could be a little dryer, but hey this stuff is pretty darn good. I'm not worried about any unfermented sugars here. Even keel middle. Cannot detect any turn turtle or over balance in the finish. Ends with a twist of apple peel.

From Shacksbury. 6.5%. NB goblet. Clear, Miller Time. Minerally, dry yeast, faintly macerated/browned apple scent. All very mild. Taste is bittersharp, slightly carmelized, light oxidation, glue, salt, aspirin. Thin, juicy turning parched. Crispy, but okay carbonation is very fleeting. A little boozy or just doesn't hide it well. A bit basic & English inspired. Don't think this is old. The cardboard & glue note is sticking with me. Is that the lightly barrel aged?

On tap Young Joni. Pours a clear light yellow with no head but visible carbonation. Aroma is full of sweet apple with some earthy and dry notes supporting. Flavor combines earthy and sweet apple with a slight bitterness, a touch of acid and dryness in the finish.
