On tap in Pitt Meadows. The smell is of nice sweet yet earthy berries. Has a good dark pink body but no lasting foam. Flavour is sweet sugary berries of no distinction, too much sweetness and no idea what in the hell fruits Im supposed to be tasting. Mouthfeel is sweet and sugary but there's not enough carbonation to create memorable crispness. This is boring and sweet, it needs more definition.

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.

On tap at Parrallel 49 in Vancouver. Has an aroma of good apple funk, in fact really good apple funk. Looks are just faint yellow and no head. Flavour is nice apple funk with some soft sugar hints. Mouthfeel is modest and kind of weak. Okay cider, nice wild character to it.

Draught at Parallel 49, Vancouver
Hazy blond color. That plastic smell of American ciders, the cider base is mild, the residual sweetness is pleasant, the acidity from oranges and the citrusy touch from the Mosaic are very pleasant.
Nice drink.

Cloudy orange-golden colour with no head. Strong aroma, bourbon and apple juice. Low carbonation, hence soft mouthfeel; wisely this still has some sugars, the apple cider flavour is strong, there is some bourbon, traces of apple vinegar, and mild tannins. The alcohol is not very strong.
A bit rough, but intense, very interesting.

Draft - Lightly cooked apple and some barrel. Cloudy gold with almost no head. Strong but smooth apple with a touch of tannins and acid. Very odd. Strong nose and flavours without the sharp edges. Very much apple forward and warming with the alcohol.

On tap. Pours a clear copper/amber with no head but constant carbonation. Aromas of apple pie: sweet baked apples and cinnamon. Flavors follow same with a bit of nutmeg and ginger, and slightly hot finish. Nice sipper.
