On tap in Deep Cove, served with a lime wedge. Has a deep pink body and no foam. The aroma is fruit passion fruit, sweet apple, somewhat overpowered by the lime on the rim. The flavour is a nice semi-dry apple with sweet notes and hints of skin and tannins. Mouthfeel is good, reasonably dry finish. An okay cider, not sure why the lime is necessary.

A small sample from a 1L bottle, pours a murky golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of dry apples, pears and some paint thinner. Flavour is very dry, with nothing but the apples and pears showing themselves. Very simple and a bit boring.

Plastic bottle, from Point Grey, Vancouver
Cloudy blond color, with a thin collar of foam. The aroma is nice, with apples and hazelnuts. Very dry mouthfeel, with mild fruity flavor, some astringency from the apple skins. With character. No flaws, pleasant.
