Very pale colour. There is some smell of sweaty foot, plastic, band aid. Soft mouthfeel, dry, light pear flavour. Modest.

Light sweet funk, Apple and pear. Cloudy gold with a small white. Semi sweet witch light Apple skin and a pleasant but simple finish. A bit boring for open ferment.

Purple red, pale. Apple, some berry. It's ok but the base cider has a little bit of funk, and the berry can't cover it up.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2018, pours a clear pinkish red with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out tart red berries and light wild yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with wild farmhouse notes and tart red berries. Wild and fruity. This is great.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2018, pours a cloudy blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out light funk, acidic notes and subdued pears. Flavour is quite complex, with lots of fresh farmhouse notes, wild yeast, and fresh pear skins. Nicely balanced, with nice depth. Very good.

Blond color. Mild cider aroma. The flavor profile reminds me of some sparkling wine (Champagne like), followed by a bit more cider, but the final has only alcohol and just weak flavours.
Mediocre North American cider.
