Can from Covenhoven. Baby Duvel glass. Monday night football & my glass of Rosé. Clear, purple drank with red tones. Smells like good sangria: Grapes, apples, oranges & red wine. Taste is orange rind, bittersweet apples & most definitely not table grapes. Little bit of malic. Floral, tannic skin that makes you savor it. Juicy, thin, low carb & just a hair from being too sweet. One of the top rose style cider I’ve had in this rather new category. Again, bonus points for how cheap their cans are.

Cute little bottle from Covenhoven. Baby Duvel glass pour. Pale gold, just a bit of haze. Dusty yeast, more pear then apple, sweet white wine, brine, gum. A few more descriptors as it warms & opens up & up. Bittersweet & leaning towards sidra. Lemon, market apple sweetness, boozy, acetate, yeast, paper, goopy, mild carbonation. Wine is there, but I can't seem to find the rye. I'm not excited about this.

4-pack from my local hipster-mart. Pint glass. Opaque yellow orange brew. Smells of curiously orange-like sharp apples. Lemon, pepper, seltzer. Taste is gently fruity. Hints at wood. Building acidity that gives way to floral orange citrus. Light carbonation. Simple, but not too simple. Similar to Spritz, but bigger, cleaner & quite easy to make disappear. Really great cider for $4 a can.

Great! Lt tart red/yellow/crisp apples; fruit peel/gin/juniper/oak/honey/herbal/floral/grass/yeast earth; lt pepper/funk. Semidry/semicrisp carb. Some acid/tannin drying. No astringent. Very smooth. Great apple complexity, nice gin barrel/honey presence.

Very nice. Tart red/green/crisp/sharp apples; fruit peel/herbal/floral/grass/yeast earth; lt pepper/funk. Bone dry/crisp carb. Lingering acids/tang/tannins. Min pucker/astringent. Smooth. Great apple complexity/balance. Spot on farmhouse cider as expected

Can from New Beer Distributors. WTF happened?!?! Pint glass pour. Solid clear amber color. Airy, saline, minerally nose. Can’t tell if this is still with some secondary bubbles, or just half flat. I like it. Tastes is bittersweet & half sharp, like the skin off some sort of grape/berry/foreign fruit that I can’t quite place. Wood tannins & saline help straighten it out. Something sour near the end. Finish leans dry, but not completely. Unique flavor. Enjoyed it.

Can. Cranberry red with bubbles. Sweet apples and grapes in the nose, slightly vinous. Flavor is tannic wine, more grape than apple, nice fruit. Spicy, cinnamon. A bit sweet, though, which wore on my over the glass.

Can. Fruity, slightly acetic nose, apples, barnyard funk. Cloudy ass deep pastel gold. Tangy, fruity, funky and tart with a bit of nice fruity sweetness as well. Nice.

Very herbal

Pours hazy straw into a shaker. No head. Sweet apple aromas. Crisp with tart apple tannins upfront abruptly turning to dry dusty skin finish.
