12 oz can, poured into a can shaped glass, just days after I sampled this beer at the Schilling cider house, and was sold on finding it again one day. Didn’t think it would only take a couple days. My love for pepper beers has definitely translated well into a major enjoyment of pepper ciders. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a quick fading fizz head. Huge margarita lime aroma. Flavor is sweet apple fruit, complimented by a big heat punch of dry pepper. Enough heat to leave it lingering on the lips for a while. This would be awful to drink during a spicy buffalo wing challenge, or at the beach on a 90 plus degree day, but other than those instances, I enjoy the hell out of this. Bonus points for the unique style, and executing it. Solid cider that only a true pepper lover can appreciate in my opinion. Nicely done.

Sampler at Schilling Cider House. Gold color. It definitely has a habanero kick, that I love. No lime. The probably is its too apply and thus sweet. Sweet slick apple gets in the way of the habanero. Needs to be drier. Love the habanero, hate the apple.

Apple aroma, slightly funky with oats underneath. Crystal clear amber, still. Semi-dry apple, farmhouse. Light body, spritzy, tangy. Carbonation is too lively, but otherwise, this is a fine cider.

Funny but I don’t get even the barest hint of bourbon here, barely even any barrel notes at all. If I had no idea it was bb-aged, I would just label this an ordinary cider. It is very British, very light carbonation, dry, darkly fruity, very much not an apple-juice flavor but more vinous. I think for sure it is the best non-Spanish non-French cider I have had.

Bottle share @ The Stein & Vine, Brandon. Thanks Ty! Léger orangé, col fin blanc. Arôme offre de suite une belle dimension pomme-cidre avec un bouquet agréable de sarsparilla rappelant une root beer, retrouve une fine pointe de vanille en rétro. Palais est agréable offrant une belle balance en le côté légèrement astringent des pommes et une petite rondeur vanillée en fin de bouche. L’ajout de sarsparilla est également bienvenu. Retrouve peu le côté épicé et boisé du chêne, ce qui met à l’honneur les deux ingrédients spéciaux de ce cidre.
