On tap @TreeRock. Goblet. Clear, filtered, golden brew with a wisp of head. Mellow, quiet apples with a slight guava warmth. Not as tart or sour as expected, but there's a little pinch. Dusty, plum-y richness. The guava hints with a unexpected creamy sweetness laced around caramel(oxidation?). Apples start to peek around the corner once it warms a tad. Basic baking apples, a little thin on flavor besides skin & seed. Salt is on the tongue in between sips. Soft, subtle carbonation. Abv feels a touch stronger than the 5.5 listed. Thin, semi sweet leaning dry. Overall, not as cool as expected. Okay.

Pint can, WW. Clear pale gold with a hint of reddishness in it. Carbonation but no head. Apple, mixed fruit nose. Smells dry. Dry apple, including skins, lemon or lime juice, hint of salt, other random fruitiness that I can't actually discern. Tart, not great.

Typical apple cider color and aroma. Taste is a slightly sour and dry apple cider with a mild horse blanket finish.

Bottle from Wolf Brew in Brevard, NC. 8.4%abv. Pint glass @ home. Pressed back & deleted my first rate. :/ Bud Light pour. Subtle, soft, bittersharp apples, dry yeast, talcum powder, & melon nose. Cola level acid upfront. Pure lemon juice, residual yeast, plum pits, savory salad greens, neutral finish. As it warms you get a little of a macerated apple core/skin flavor. Boozy. Strong carbonation, thin, sharp, dry, pithy. Needs a share. Harsh. Good.

Pint can from Beer Run, 1/14/21. Slightly hazy gold, thin fizzy head, fair retention. Aroma of sweet and dry apple, earthy hops. Taste is dry apple, earth, a sweet finish. Not sure it counts as a dry cider, especially for a cider from Virginia, but it's pretty nice.
