Bottle courtesy of Drake. Sweet tart apple and light vinous yeast aroma. Sparkling pale yellow, no head per usual for cider. Tart, dry vinous apple flavor. Very similar to a dry white wine. Light carbonated body.

Had this one on draft at the Blue Mountain Brewpub. Poured a slightly hazy color with a slight green tint to this particular cider. Aroma was slightly tart apples with a touch of sweet sugars. Flavor was pretty good. Tart and crispy notes to this one. Pretty refreshing.

Location: Draft at the Blue Mountain, 11/21/12

Aroma: The nose is somewhat tart apple, some wine-like notes, and a little funk
Appearance: It pours a pale yellow-white color with no head or lace at all
Flavor: This one tastes similar to the nose, it is not super sweet, intead it is more tart
Palate: It has a light body, a soft carbonation, and a finish that is almost dry wine-like
Overall Impression:  This was more of a tart cider then a sweet one, and thought it wasn’t amazing, I found it pretty enjoyable for what it was trying to be.

Served on draft at Whole Foods Charlottesville. Pours a clear golden color with a thin ring of head. Aroma of tart apples, vanilla, tannins and faint brandy notes. The taste is tart apples, wood, earth, faint brandy. "Zesty" is in my notes. Faint heat. A little harsh at first but quite nice once it breathes a bit.

Sour dry apple nose. Cloudy pale yellow,no apparent carbonation. Drinks truly dry, but with apple notes discernible. A tinge of tartness at midpalate, finishes phenolic. I’m not yet acquainted with this cidery, but they have made one of the few dry ciders I enjoy.

Served on draft at Whole Foods Market Charlottesville. Pours a clear golden color with a medium sized creamy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of tart apples, a bit of graininess with a sweet apple and honey finish. The taste is tart apples, grainy, with a sweet finish. Straightforward. A bit thin. Fairly nice.
