Owner of the Hop Shop where I had this on draft pulled the keg collar for me and I took a picture of it and tried (tried) to upload it to Ratebeer. No idea if it was successful. As we were debating the details of this cider, the rep walked in and explained that the cidery does very small batched of various things, but they're gone before they get a chance to post anything about them, which is why there isn't much internet information on this one. He also explained that the cidery does both barrel aged and non-barrel-aged versions of all their small batches. So there you go. Golden color pink hue, still. Big bourbon aroma, subtle strawberry. Taste has vanilla, tannins, berries and subtle cacao. Interesting.

Pours a slight pink from a tap. Tart cherry aroma and flavor with a bit of apple. Good cider.

Guest tap @ Lexington Brewery. Tulip pour. Gold, clear, bubbly nucleation. Looks as expected. Smell is minerally, yeasty & faintly melon-like. Taste is of melon, banana, plastic, saline, & spent apples. Fermented down to nothingness. Thin, sparkly, dry & faintly tart. Champagne yeast, not a fan.

Draft at Universal Joint. Clearish pinkish red color with bubbles. Aroma of sour cherry. Taste is not too sweet cherry and apple flesh. Refreshing change from drinking beer all day.

Draft at Wedge during RBWG 2014 - Asheville. Pours very pale, clear yellow. Very sweet, a little syrupy, somewhat herbal. Medium bodied, fine. Sugary finish with ample ripe apple. Meh, fairly sugary overall without much depth.
