16oz can from Tavour. Clear, bright golden pour, fine ring of white foam. Aroma is apples, light tartness, hefty presence of whiskey and some caramel. Taste is tart, woody, caramel, apples, bourbon notes more subtle than in the aroma.

Bottle from their very reasonable cellar club. Cheapo, stemless, 6-pack from TJmax for 7.99 glass. Big, fizzy, pink head. Maroon, hazy, yet settled, rich, red wine. Smell is wild-fermented grapes, chokeberry, sharp crab apples, cranberry, astringent weeds as you pull them out with hate. Flavor is massively tannic, bold, tart, macerated skin & apple cores. Bitter, sharp, some funk but more just green, earthy, raw & uncultured. Finish is jammy with lots of cotton mouth. Frothy, thin, boozy, a numbing slap in the face. Basement wine with attitude. Great.

Bottle from their cider club. They also shipped a n/a botanical soda without an optional substitution so this one better be good. New Belgium goblet @home. Frothy, lingering lace over a raspberry iced tea-looking brew. TBD nose, as it's quite cold. ...Soft earthy grapes, orange & wild fermented cider so far. Pleasant acidity, sour cherry candy, lemon, lingering wild & bitter apples, leaves, okay tannins, faint oxidation. Little bit of a drop off in flavor from front to back. Crispy, but only faintly tart, mostly clean, relatively easy abv. First one of these that came out exceptionally well in a minute. Cheers.

It's light with some gnarly vanilla notes

Bottle form their cider cellar sale. Week in the fridge, probably not quite settled. Lo-ball glass @home. Strong pour. Dusty gold, wisp of lingering lace, otherwise still. Smells of random macerated fruits, leaning orange/lemon/kiwi/white grape/crab apple. All very mild, but the total effect is perfume-y. Dominate sour, very gummy, punchy acid, lemon peel, cider vinegar. Bit tired of vinegar. Oxidation, but little funk. Lingering table grapes. Tastes like an apple-grape hybrid but isn't. Creamy finish. Itchy, good carbonation, strong for the abv, not quite dry. Good with food, okay as is.

Bottle from the cider club thingie. Only grabbed one bottle this time. Two days in the fridge, who cares about clarity. Low-ball @ home. It's just a good glass. Dusty more so than cloudy. Tan, opaque cider with a ring of lace. Smell is bittersharp apples, heavy bubblegum, epoxy, saltwater. A heavy, still fermenting sort of scent. Twangy apples, salt, banana, papaya, melon, kiwi. Fruity, but messy flavor. I don't taste the Oak beneath all this. Sidra/Wild/Funk/Amateur. Very unsettled, partially my fault. Mild to okay carbonation at first, but it quickly drops. Milky. Bit strong for the moderate ABV. Doable, but glad I only bought one bottle.

Bottle from Shacksbury's cellar sale. Two days in the fridge. Lo-ball glass @home. Drinking now before they start to pile up. Foaming neck that doesn't want to become a casualty. Nice, slow, lurking head. Cloudy orange gold. Hearty. Could be good. Fresh fruit, tin, sand, melon, saltwater. Taste is bittersweet stone fruit with some residual sweetness. Sharp, lightly sour, mildly tart, lots of apple peel. Very minor ripe funk. Some vinegar. Noticeable sulfites. Soap. Floral apples & skin on the finish. Not quite done fermenting? Thick, crispy, more sharp than sour, strong for 6%. American Sidra. Low burn. Pretty good.

Clear bottle from their cider club while writing out Christmas cards to all of those we love, but maybe don't really want to visit much. Lo-ball glass @home. Dull gold body. Two months of settling & a few weeks of chill haven't done squat. Smells like botanical, infused apple cider vinegar with a touch of vanilla on the tail. Appalachian hippies love this shit. Hard citrus burn & tart apples dominate. Sour orange, lemon, salt, gum, yeasties, lingering orange oil. It all hides some of the robust vinegar that I'm getting a little tired of. Though this is the strongest orange-related infusion I can remember. Good carbonation, yeastatic, okay booze. Just okay. Maybe deserves a less bias revisit.

Clear bottle from their cider club. Stemless wine glass @home. Orange wine sorta color. Golden, but not perfectly clear. Nose is earth, aerosol, bubblegum, lots of pepper. A little unique. Lots of bubblegum, bittersharp apples, cherry & vinegar. Bright. Vinegar fades somewhat, leaving tannic apple skin. Very vinegary regardless. Light but forceful carbonation, not absolutely settled, fumey alcohol. Just okay.

Bottle from their cider club. A two months on the shelf, two months in the fridge. Still not quite settled. Not waiting any longer. Tasty pint glass @home. Caked yeast all in the neck, some still on the bottom, some floating dead center of the bottle. Yellow on orange body. Beautiful & unexpected eggshell head that takes it's time settling. Smells of warm, baked apples, sharp & sweet. More rum-ish than whiskey to my nose. Pucker tart, lightly sweet, half sour apples pickled in cider vinegar. Lemon, sour orange, typical sour flavors. Booze is very subtle, but it's there as you breathe in & out. End is a little bready/yeasty, with soft vanilla & sulfites. It starts to build & stick to you by the second pour. Prickly, but otherwise soft carbonation. Not sparkling(it fails here). Obviously textured/yeasty, with a very warm & gentle barrel. Eat some cheese first. A bit too sour, but good.
