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.

Not VT only. I’ve seen cans and now had at keg at work in bean town tastes of botanicals, tart apples, grass, some grapefruit, herbs. Decent body. Good cider

12 ounce can from Vintage Estate, 9/19/22. New cidery! Vermont #6. Clear amber, lots of visible carb, thin head, poor retention. Aroma of juniper, floral notes, tart apple. Taste is dry apple, juniper. Crisp. Nice. 1700th USA brewery! But the brewery count didn't go up. So the country breweries increase but overall breweries do not. Good ole RateBeer.

750ml from their last club shipment. Two months settling in the fridge. Pint glass @home. First half was jelly clear, yellow gold. Second pour was hazy despite my steady hand. Yeasty, lots of apple skin, berry, gum. Tart, lemon, lime, more skin, sharp, sour gummies, mild but lingering pithy bitterness. Too thin, juicy, medium carb, fine abv. Solid, if safe. Good.

Bottle from their last & very abrupt cider club shipment. Wine glass @home. Slightly hazy, glowing pale gold, faintly soda brew. Nose is heavy clay, fusels, trash & savory bitter melon. Taste is a compact mess of yeast, white grape skins & earth. Mostly clean initially, with a sharp delivery. Mellow melon, lime, trash, pickled veggies, white wine, yeasty remnants. Homebrew-esque is a bad label, but it is so very iffy & experimental. Cake-y, yeasty, well carbed, brutal acidity, good feel on the abv, lackadaisical show of it all. Not there yet. Sad they quit.

750ml bottle from their last cider club shipment. Focusing on making money instead. Duvel glass. Opaque, pale gold, lacy. Danky, very green, alfalfa, pineapple juice. Pretty damn dank. Dank + tart & dry apple juice. Earth + cut grass, lime, bitter greens, green tea. Pure hop juice + acidic cider. Thin, grassy, diluted, okay carb, soapy. Too grassy to be great. No age. Okay.

Can at home after a day of biking and pool. Deep gold. Few bubbles. Nose is appley, touch of oak, and maple. Tastes the same. Maple is a kiss. Light booze. Rich apple.

Bottle from their cider club. Tasty Beverage thin pint glass @home. Voluminous pale pink head, odd pink on purple cloudy body. More like lilac in color actually. Smell is roasted grapes, sour apple, vinegar, grape bubblegum. Taste is earthy, sour, deep, middling tannic, concord-like grapes mashed with very tart & wild apples. Sour vinegar middle, iodine, glue, tiny itty bitty bit of funk, super sharp & sour finish. I really think the grapes propped this one up. They've made better hybrids, but this combo makes a good team. Sparkly, irritating carbonation that is inconsistent & drops off. Thick slurry of yeast, thin actual body, borderline amount of vinegar. Very acidic, boozy for only 7.6%. Okay.

750ml bottle from their cider club. Regular format should be canned I believe. Lo-ball glass @home. Clear, filtered, deep metallic gold & bubbly. Tart apple, pith, long bittersweet nose. Not very strong though. Clean, bittersweet, sharp, citrus-y, rounded whiskey, lingering malic acid, & a dry malt character, but no obvious maple. Semi-sweet. No distilled flavors in this one. They've been doing that lately. Missing that last note to make it memorable. Texture is thin but slick, I'm guessing because of the syrup. I was expecting more of a honey feel. Very acidic, but the sharp edges smooth out. Burns in my stomach though. Boozier than anticipated. Sulfites play nice. Probably feel it later. Surprisingly good.
