Sample at the Rabbit’s Foot Meadery (as "Apple Honey Cider"). Clear pale straw-golden color with decent legs on the glass. Aroma of apples and honey. Medium-bodied with flavors of mildly tart apples, spices and honey. The finish is fruity with a green apple and spice aftertaste. Decent overall.

On tap at the brewery. It’s a hazy, orange-golden beer topped by a finger-thick white head. The aroma is sweetish and honey-ish, with caramel and some alcohol. Rather fruity and peachy. Warming on the palate, medium to full body. Sweet and fruity flavor with some honey and peaches. Caramel hints. Lasting finish. A beer that shows off too much of it’s ABV, else quite nice. 130808

On tap at the brewpub. It’s a clear, golden beer topped by a white head. The aroma is lightly fruity, feeling dry, with a honey twist. Fruity, lightly honey-ish flavor with a decent bitterness. Medium to thin on the palate, dry, and with a short finish. Not a bad one, but rather boring and uninteresting. 130808

Tap. Pours clear pale golden with a teeny tiny white head that dissipates and leaves nearly no head. Aroma is really dominated by green pears, with some honey sweetness. Flavor is the same, medium sweet with some tartness present as well. Medium body, no carbonation. Interesting. This is why I like hedonistic rating; I have no idea what a Perry is SUPPOSED to be, but I thought this was pretty tasty. So there.

Super hazy deep copper coloured body with a off-white head, about a centimetre tall, and some honey glow makes it nice. Aroma of malt, honey, yeast, sugars, flowers and a touch of light spice. Medium to Full-bodied; Deep wheat and yeastie flavours with a lot of sugars, some floral notes, a touch of honey and some very light earthy spices. Aftertaste is mostly sweet with a ton of honey notes, a little lemon and citrus flavour and finishes with a lot of malt and yeast. Overall, a decent belgie with some good flavours and a nice, subtle complexity. I sampled this 50 cL swing-top bottle purchased from BevMo! in San Francisco (Geary Blvd), California on 14-January-2012 for US$5.99 sampled at home in Washington on 22-April-2012.
