DC Crew host the Brits invasion Tasting, Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is funky, apples, pungent. Taste is carbonated, apples, leather, tannin.

Light funk here. Tart finish. Golden pour with some soap bubbles. Light tart finish. Pretty decent, and holds up well for an eight year old cider.

Love the funk. Juicy. Crabapple

Hazy gold with a trace white head that faded quickly. Tart and musty with lemon, grapefruit and a hint of apple. Long ginger finish. Medium body.

Perfectly clear golden coloured body with a super thin pure white head that fades very quickly. Aroma of pretty strong ground ginger, a dash of vinegar and some very strong apple notes with a little bit of citrus notes, but the apples are easiliest the strongest here in the nose. Light-bodied; Very strong ground ginger flavour shows at first with a nice lemon and subtle grapefruit notes, but the fresh apples and especially the vinegary, soured notes are the strongest here for sure. Aftertaste shows some slight spicey notes from the ginger, but a crisp citrus flavour and a light but sweet apple flavour that tastes like Golden Delicious and a dash of lemons at the end for freshness. Overall, a nice, crisp and very easy-drinking cider with some light citrus and ginger flavours, but a lightly sweet but very appley cider that is refreshing and smooth, but this crazy sized can is perhaps a bit too much. I sampled this 19.2 ounce tall can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Bryant Park, 42nd Street), New York on 14-January-2023 for US$2,99 sampled at my hotel here in Exmore, Virginia on 24-February-2023 while visiting the Eastern Shore. 

$4.25 single can from North Park Bottlecraft in SD. Couldn't find it on the east coast, so I came way the fuck out here. Poured into a clear, plastic cup back @the hotel. Oak-y, bittersweet, cranberry, iron, wanting acid, honey-tart fumes. Taste is thinned black tea & earthy upfront, becoming tart-sharp. Wild apples with a complex mixed salad twist. Juicy, lime, unripe berries, melon rind, hint of vinegar, salt. I couldn't really nail down the descriptors here, I get that makes it interesting. Very lightweight this year. Okay to good.

568ml tall boy from the Bearded Monk in Denton, Tx. They're in mix packs everywhere, but I just wanted a single. It's impossible sometimes. Clear plastic cup back at the hotel. Deep orange & ginger gold, sort of hazy, white wash pasty lace. Ginger, mandarin orange, apple peels & muted mulling spice. Taste has significant fresh ginger but without the spice(initially). Candied lemon, cardamom, apple astringency without the flavor. Apple is more rich, sweet & flat. They did add some natural flavor that I unsuccessfully tried to pinpoint. Could be apple essence to boost the buried flavor. Some ginger heat creeps back into the picture once everything else has failed. Winner by default. Carbonation is biting, body is a little gloopy, abv feels like a watery mixed drink. Have had better from them.
