Port Wash Pyder from Twin Island Cider

6.6/10 — Appearance 2 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Pours a muddy peach with minimal foam. Nice sweet mix of pear and apple on the nose, but kind of a jumble. Flavour is tart apple and some bitter pear, twig notes. Bone dry finish. Some good things going on here, I like it.

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Pours with okay foam and a nice light yellow colour, medium carbonation visible. The aroma is soft musty apples, barnyard, soaked wood. Flavour is nice bitter apple with wood notes, strong acidity but still leaves a crisp finish. Drinkable for sure.

Crabenstein from Twin Island Cider

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Has a nice light golden hue with very good foam and big carbonation bubbles.. On the nose is vanilla, twig, low sweetness apple. The flavour is rather bitter and tart, lots of tannins and twig. Full mouthfeel and carbonation keeps it lively. I'm surprised at how little sweetness there is in this one but it works if you're prepared for it.

Grape Friends Pét-Nat (2020) from Twin Island Cider

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Pours with feisty carbonation and strong but fast disappearing pink foam on a deep ruby red body that's rather cloudy. Aroma is a lot of red grape skin and soft woody cider. Flavour is cider forward with mellow dried grape skin notes. Full mouthfeel, good carbonation. Very well balanced, nice spontaneous carbonation.

North End Pét-Nat from Twin Island Cider

8.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 10 Overall 8.5
Pours cloudy orangey gold with mellow but stable foam, bubbling away. very nice colour. Smells deeply of fresh apples which I couldn't describe, maybe green skinned, complexity abound but still sweet and on the sugary side. Flavour is smooth apple, chunky and kind of like a sweet apple pie in all its freshness. Mouthfeel is full and sweet but not cloyingly so and the alcohol is present but still well in the background. An incredibly good cider, pulling apple flavours together that I don't normally see.

Gold colour. The aroma is just a nice earthy apple. Bright apple, snappy acidity. Finishes bitter, slightly tannic, but pretty complex. Off the top of my head this is easily the best Twin Island I’ve had.

Pale, buttery...fermentation issues, sweet, appley, a bit wonky. So for me this doesn't work.

Decent pear and apple, with a nice tannic note. All told, not half bad stuff.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2019, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out wild yeast, musty apples, and oak. Flavour is along the same lines, with oak, wild yeast, and musty apples. Wild and oaky. Good stuff.
