355mL can, pours a lightly hazed blonde with small, quickly-vanishing white head. Nose has lots of musty pear and apple skins, a touch of hay, and almost a touch of sulphur. Flavour is clean, dry and crisp, with lots of the dry pear skins, less so apple, with some hay, and a crisp, mildly tart finish. Not particularly complex, but it’s dry, clean and well-formulated. Solid enough.

Poured from 355mL can. Clear pale blonde with minimal white head. Dry apple skin, mild sweet pear, it doesn’t really pick a lane, blend could be better, okay.

(On tap @ Cider House, Toronto, Aug 8/19) Pours lightly haze pale yellow with basically no head. Notes of fairly sweet pear flesh as I guess is expected from Bartlett, some moderate off-dry apple notes, light funk, not a whole lot of tannic grip nor complexity, smooth through the sip and finishing fairly dry. Light to medium body with average carb. Solid stuff here, there's not much that sticks out but it's a well-made cider as one expects from West Ave and the balance is great.
