On tap at Double Shovel, pours a clear blonde with a tiny white head. Nose is loaded with habanero and jalape�o upfront, without much burn. Flavour has very mild spiciness, with tons of habanero and jalape�o upfront, backed by very gentle tartness and a touch of crisp apple skins. Lots of pepper flavour without the burn. Fun stuff.

On tap at Double Shovel, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals plenty of toasted coconut upfront, accentuated by pineapple and a hint of apple core. Flavour has both moderately sweet coconut and pineapple in equal balance, with subdued apple core further back. On the sweeter side for Double Shovel's ciders but has a nice integration of adjuncts. Decent.

On tap at Double Shovel, pours a mostly clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of tart apple core, a nice floral hop character and a touch of farmhouse notes. Flavour is surprisingly good for a hopped cider — I usually hate hopped ciders — with notes of gently tart apple core, floral hops and a hint of funk. Finishes hoppy, tart and crisp, with traces of residual sweetness. Still not totally sold on hopped ciders but this is executed reasonably well.

On tap at Double Shovel, pours a clear bright pinkish red with a small white head. Aroma brings out subtle mint upfront, earthy rhubarb and a touch of apple core. Flavour comes across rather vegetal due to the combo of earth rhubarb and mint. Dry finish, with equal parts of mint and rhubarb; but again, it comes across rather vegetal/herbal. Not bad but definitely not great.

On tap at Double Shovel, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is dry, with crisp apple skins and a hint of apple core. Flavour is fairy dry, with crisp apple skins, light apple core and a tiny hint of tartness. Pretty uninteresting but it's at least fermented out very dry. Drinkable.

Clear yellow. Aroma is apples, medium body, and no carbonation. Taste is apples and some what dry finish.

Can from Carol, Alaskan Missionary. Tasty Beverage Company slim pint glass @home. Looks like a crisp, clean pils (with ample head). Smells of bitter apple, mint, fir, salt, leafy greens. None of the orange peel. Taste is a mix of pine & Aspirin hop bitterness over bittersharp apples. More hops in this than any hopped cider I've had before. Minty edge leaves a bit of numbness on my tongue. Apples are destroyed. Body is thin, somewhat boozy, low carbonation, very astringent & somewhat difficult. For those that miss that old bitter beer face expression before fruity hops came to town. Drop the abv or the hop totals to improve this. Okay.

Draft: Poured clear and no head. Aroma is nice hops. Very nice Apple with nice hops bite.
