On tap at Max’s in Baltimore pours a clear gold, perhaps a little darker gold, with a ring of white head. Nose has plenty of apple juice, hints of corn, a little perfume, and then some caramel/whiskey. Flavor follows with apple, apple sauce, mild spice, mild spice, some booze, some vanilla. Finishes a touch sweet. Well done.

Bottle pour at a tasting with one of the makers. Nose is nice apple and some peppery spice and wood. Tastes of apple and tart skins, peppery, some birch, minerals, green apple and tannic. Dry amd some fruit and zest on finish. I’m a sucker for the romanticism of foraged ciders.
