7.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7
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.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a cloudy orange with no head. Aroma is loaded with floral dry hopping and a touch of green apple. Flavour is sweet and hoppy, with heaps of green apple, plenty of floral hops, and lots of residual sugar. Not a refined cider by any means: messy, sweet and somewhat abrasive; but it's still fun and drinkable.

Tap at Alibi. Deep gold, clear, some bubbles. Caramel apple nose, pie, nice apples, calvados. Very boozy and a bit phenolic, but a sweet apple background with caramel makes it interesting for such a big cider. Too boozy but characterful.

Pale green with medium haze. Tart, then sweet, then a bit of lime, more tartness, more juicy character.

Pitted from Merridale Cidery & Distillery

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Pale blond color, hazy. Mild aroma of cider and apple juice. Sweet mouthfeel, generic candy fruitiness, no much cider character left, nor the pit I was longing for; it has some of the flaws of my homebrew pyment, including some booze.
Good drink, hardly a cider.

Mo' Mango Mosaic from Merridale Cidery & Distillery

Cloudy yellow color. The mango is evident, there is also pineapple, a touch of lychee, papaya. Once more the hopping clashes a bit, not as much as in the other ciders of the series, it creates the illusion of bitter citrus peel; the cider itself is lost.
Pleasant.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Cloudy yellow color. Orange juice and some resiny bitterness, the cider character is completely masked. Some vegetable bitterness in the final. Decent drink, although somehow it tastes like flu remedy.

Mosaic Blue from Merridale Cidery & Distillery

5.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Bright and cloudy vermilion. Mild aroma of berries and hop. Sweet, the cider flavor is now lost, it has a mild berry character and acidity, once more the hop powder seems to clash and to introduce some harsh note. Not so good.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Dull cloudy golden color. The aroma is definitively minty. Good body strength; it’s sweet, some fruity candy, and vegetable notes, some mint. On the same line as a strawberry mojito.
Not too bad, but what a weird idea.
