Rubber, apple smell. Clear champagne colored, some carbonation. Bone dry, with tart apple finish. Butter and oak at midpalate. Light body, spritzy. Wow, this is not for me. Too dry, too much like chardonnay.

Apple and peach aroma, a little funk. Crystal clear champagne, some carbonation. Looks a little watery. Dry apple, funk is more prominent, apricot is absent. Subtle lavender finish. Light body, harsh mouthfeel. Different from the regular Hardside apple cider, but not by as much as you might think.

Apple nose, quite rubbery at first, but it goes away as the cider breathes. Crystal clear gold, visible carbonation. Semi-dry initially, tangy apple briefly at midpalate, dry and phenolic finish. Light body, moderately carbonated, phenols give the impression of warmth, but alcohol isn’t that evident. Surprising amount of character, palatably dry.

Draft: Mildly funky apple nose. Crystal clear very pale yello, bubbly. Semi-sweet apple, mild floral note. Tart and tangy. Looks cheap and weak, but it’s quite elegant. Maybe better bottled.

From a bottle shared by my dear friend, Rosemary who picked this up while on a winery tour. Poured a translucent, slightly pale yellow color. Aroma had plenty of apples, pear notes, a little barrel. Flavor was apples, bourbon notes. Easy drinking, good.
