Sample at West End Ciderhouse as part of Ohio Brew Week. This cider pours a clear rosé color with a minimal white head and spotty lacing. Aroma of raspberries and spice. Medium-bodied with a mildly tart raspberry character and notes of honey and florals in the background. The finish is fruity with a lingering raspberry aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Sample at West End Ciderhouse as part of Ohio Brew Week. Clear pale yellow-gold pour with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to a sparse outer ring. Spotty lace. Aroma of ginger and citrus. Light to medium body with a spicy ginger character with some lemon and malt in the background. The finish is citrusy with a spicy ginger aftertaste. Above average overall, although I don't know under what category of beverage this falls (Cider? Ginger Ale?).
