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.

Pale, touch of yellow. Quite appley on the nose, with a touch of apple, and a fair bit of malolactic. Good cider

Very dull pale colour. On the nose, a touch of apple but also pedio. Not great...- bit of sweetness but also it gets fairly tart in the finish.This didn’t resonate with me for whatever reason.

Draft - Funky cooked Apple. Clear gold with a small white head. Acidic and a bit of nail polish Apple notes. Bone dry and I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between apple and pear here.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy notes, with some manure. Flavour brings out manure, farmhouse yeast, and earthy notes. Too much manure, with a farmhouse finish. It's okay.

Deep gold. Spicy apple nose. On the palate, a lot more alcohol than I’d prefer. It is a bit dry, and just a touch of apple, but there’s no complexity to justify my investment in this boozy, untidy effort.

On tap at Callister, pours a clear blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out medium sweetness, dry green apples and a touch of crispness. Flavour is similar, with medium sweetness, dry green apples, and a nice crispness. Well-designed, but pretty standard.

Blond color, clean. Mild aroma, something like white wine during fermentation. Not semi dry, this is very dry; no remarkable cider character; fermented too much, so it also produced some off flavors, plastic, various chemical compounds.
This is 5 cents worth of apple juice sold for $ 2,50, and not even good.
Not pleasant.
