Perfectly clear rose and light pink coloured body with no head at all on top, and what was there faded faster than soda. Aroma of very crisp and incredibly pungent apples with a lot of sweetness behind showing almost a pure honey or fructose note, with some deeper currant and cherry notes with a hint of blueberries, but more of a tart cranberry vibe, although the apples are by far the strongest, the other flavours are noticeable. Light-bodied; Assertive effervescence; Strong tart and crisp red currant notes with a dash of tartness to start out, but the large sweetness follows soon afterwards and leaves a pure sugar and almost cloying character right behind with some fresh apple and pear notes on the edges. Aftertaste is all fruit-based with a lot of apple, pear and espescially cranberry and red currant notes that show more of a deep side to the cider, but the truth is - there are more sugars here than in most ciders, especially considering the alcohol. Overall, a nicely layered and relatively well-fruited cider with a smooth tart flavour throughout that blends well with the strong and sweet apple notes. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Eataly in New York (Downtown location), New York on 13-August-2018 for US$3,80 sampled at home in Washington on 02-April-2020, to honour the front line workers [of every trade] dealing with things in New York right now.

Can from Malt & Mold. DFH rounded pint glass. Pale clear straw. Good sizzle. Smells is faded ginger, leaves, faint lemon, green tea. Taste is watery, lightly tannic apples, very faint candied ginger that lingers, some acidity that could be perceived as lemon. Some sweetness as it warms. Thin & spritzy, with the carbonation dying very quickly. Meh.

On tap @ Bad Seed BK. Pils glass. Generic yellow brew. Bit of lace. Funky, slightly off-putting nose, very much barnyard-like & musky. Taste is mild, more dry then sweet, lightly bitter apples, dusty remnants of yeast, along with some wolfy, really gamey hops. Crispy tap line, hops are still off. Not great.

Very smooth and tasty, felt a bit lightweight but it's a deceptive feeling, well rounded and easy to drink. Loved it.

Vintage rate. 5/19/15. $8, ommegang chalice. Clear, golden yellow. Softly fizzy, sparkling. Smells faintly of apple cores, bitter melon, & fizzy beer. Taste is sweet & sour apples, candy(but not sour apple candy if that makes sense), bitter peel/seeds, cream soda, touch wine-y & sharp. Feel is a little less carbonation then expected, a bit fuller; it coats. Lingering sour finish. Okay.

Single from New Beer Distributors. Perfect pint glass. Deep, clear lake, crispy rose-like body. Smells of grape jam & not much else. Taste is tart, tannic apples & grape juice. Booze & light yeasty notes down the back. Slick, sugary texture, moderate carbonation. Too direct. Nothing really curious about it. Nothing really at fault either.

Precious Metal, Brooklyn tap: pors clear gold with a small head. Aroma is yeasty, apple, sugar. Dry but with a nice level of sweetness. Kind of sweet aftertaste. Very smooth and drinkable. I liked it.

On tap @ The Porterhouse at Fraunces Tavern. More or less a crystal clear and really pale in the glass this one. A fizzing white head quickly gone sidesticking, mildly. Smells of musky dusty dry apples. Some sugary sweetness. It doesn't taste bad at all really. A nice soft acidity that cuts through the sweetness. Yellow and red sweet apples. It has a nice oily texture and it's below average on the carbonation. Really easy to drink this. Like it. 14.06.2015
