12 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. Part of the football Sunday cider flight tasting. Cloudy golden yellow appearance. Nice tart and dry constant. Ripe apple and soft tropical. Dry, tingly finish. Unique cider here.

Can shipped by the Mansquito. Cheers. Goblet @home. Thin, quick-hitting soda head. Opaque, mellow yellow gold pour. Soft vinegar, bittersharps, onion, bubblegum, sidra-esque. Bittersweet, cooked pineapple, sweet lime juice, pear, sulfites, sweet vinegar, lots of gum. Hot ferment. Decent to good.

Can from North Park Bottlecraft. 6.9%. The recipe seems to drift year to year. Poured into a clear, plastic cup back @the hotel. Dusty, 14k gold pour. A little gloopy with just a bit of spritz. Dusty, yeasty, macerated apple, earthy sweet. Primarily earthy bittersweets. Bittergreen mango, apple core, snappy pineapple, yeast, lingering pepper. Been a minute since a good Anxo brew.

Four pack from Appalachian. Wine glass @home. Hazy, dusty pale gold, subtle bubbles. Odd earthy, gum & pineapple nose. Not super appetizing. Musty, lemon, old papaya, very veggie, cooking oil, old wood. Spritzy, chalky yeast, potent sulfites, strong for the abv. Just doesn't taste good.

Four pack from Appalachian. Wine glass @home. More murky/dusty than hazy, yellow gold. Bubbly enough I guess. Melon, perfume-y apples, pickles, plastic. Wild ferment, duh. Taste is cantaloupe-y & sour. Mellow apple skin, old wood, pear sweetness, lime bitterness, black pepper, typical Sidra earth funk & plastic, vinegar sharpness, dry popsicle finish though it was just a pinch sweet overall. Itchy, well carbed, boozy enough, obvious sulfites, bold. Rather drink this than any more Sidra honestly.

Four pack from Appalachian for like $3 over MSRP. No competition since Tasty closed. Pint glass @home. Pale gold, thin haze, soda head. Veggie, flowery, peppery, soapy, subtle vinegar nose. Interesting. Watery, gourd-melon-veggie combo sort of sweetness, soft florals, delicate powdered sugar sweetness, soft lemon, quite yeasty, super obvious dried fruit sulfites keeping the wilds at bay, it's nearly caked on. Dusty texture, medium to moderate carbonation, low tart, hidden acidity that is sorely needed. Not great.

Can labeled as a dry cider at 5.4% ABV. Very pale straw color. I was tempted by the dry cider name, but wow this was dry, as in so lacking in sweetness that it was very much in the apple flavored carbonated water realm. Not that I would mind too much, I drink a lot of fizzy water. Clean and simple apple flavors, no complexity, others note barnyard and cheese but there's nothing like that here, makes me wonder if its the same cider given the ABV discrepancy between my can and the listing here.In the end, in drank easy enough, and often the overly sweet ciders gross me out, so in general thumbs up here but I'd more like a tart/funky one over this.

Four pack from Appalachian. Half hazy, rise & fall quick eggshell head. Half sour twang, not quite barnyard or wild, rounded, peppery, sharp, gum. Peppery, wine-y, lemon twang, yeasty, barnyard funk, yeast residuals. Sidra adjacent sorta. Lingering sharpness. More vinegar, less straight, strong acidity. Goopy, harsh but only moderate carbonation, somewhat yeasty. Okay, but trying too hard to be Sidra without the character.
