750 ml bottle. Pours a garnet read with slight pinkish head. Aromas of dark earthy berries, sharp tart grapes, and fresh cut apples. Flavors follow same with a little more emphasis on apples plus additional grape soda. Nice carbonation. Very dry.

Perry from Twin Island Cider
2 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Poured from 355mL can. Hazy white blonde with tiny bit of sediment. Quite soft and mild (verging on bland), feint funk and manure quality, but too simplistic.
