500mL bottle, pours a clear blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma has plenty of toffee, stewed apples, and some sugars. Flavour is medium-sweet, with some tannins, light tart apple, stewed apples, some toffee, and light-to-medium residual sugars. There’s some nice complexity to this. Pleasant.

Bright gold. The aroma has some sweet apple character. On the palate, it's got some eating apple character, slightly honeyish, simple. Fairly sweet.

500mL bottle. Pours clear blonde. Apple skins, cores, some cloves on the nose; smells on the sweet side. Flavour has apple skins, some cores, cloves and coriander. Medium sweetness. Moderate complexity. Not bad. Not great. A bit drier than most of their other stuff, which is nice.

Leftovers from 500ml (thx, Renny!) @ SF shared with almost full gang (missing two biggest guys only).
Aroma: weird, kinda some vegetables, apples, thin.
Taste: a bit boozy, not bold enough for the ice cider.
Overall: ok.

473mL can. Pours clear blonde. Loads of cheap woody rum on the nose. Flavour has caramelized apples, brown sugar, and loads of perfumey rum; tastes kind of like how balsa wood smells. I really don't like how the rum barrels are coming across, very perfumey.

On tap at Bulwark. Pours nearly translucent. Light nose, notes of crisp pear skins. Flavour is full of crisp pears, earthy notes from the pear skins. Some excess sugars floating around, but only semi-sweet. Not bad, not great.

4oz pour at Dresden Row taproom. Pours clear pale yellow. Aroma has pear and menthol. Flavour has pear, some sugars. More delicate sweetness than others in the flight, but still way too much sugar.

On tap at Bulwark. Pours clear gold with no head. Stewed apples and nutmeg on the nose. Flavour has stewed apples, molasses, caramelized sugars, and plenty of cinnamon and nutmeg. Almost approaching am ice cider in terms of flavour profile. Not bad, good caramelization and a reasonable level of spicing.

On tap at Bulwark. Pours a clear, very pale blonde. Very light nose, some sweet peaches. Flavour is semi-sweet with light peaches and applesauce. A bit drier on the finish. Not the worst, but fairly simple and could be drier.

Pale gold. Aroma has a sweet apple note. On the palate, it's got some light fruity character. Decent sugars, but this isn't particularly rich by the standards of ice cider.
