Creston Field Blend from Twin Island Cider
3 years ago
6.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
Pale pink and just a faint haze. Aroma has a bit of sulphur, which is off-putting, but there's some apply notes underneath of that. It's off-dry, with more of that sort of sulphury whiff, some pedio as well, that overpowers the apples a bit.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Hazed orange with super quickly dissipating white head to nothing. A bit earthy, dry apple skin, soft pear underlay, decent.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a tiny white head. Aroma is full of dry funky farmhouse yeast, bone dry apple skins, and some horse blanket. Flavour is bone dry, with lots of barnyard funk, dry apple skins, and horse blanket. I completely missed the grape. Funky, bone dry and nicely complex. Excellent.

Bittersweet Pét-Nat from Twin Island Cider

8.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
750mL bottle, pours a clear bright golden with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out bright barnyard funk, crisp apple skins, and wild yeast. Flavour is bright, very funky, and complex, with bright barnyard funk, crisp apple skins, wild yeast, horse blanket, and champagne-like effervescence. Nearly bone dry, but with plenty of dynamic character. Outstanding.

Hazy. Lots of apple. Sweet and a little bit spicy, has characteristics of a much stronger cider, but bringing them to more everyday cider strength.

Purple and hazy, a bit butyric and the grapes are throwing off that character. There's tannins in there as well. Base is fine, but yeah, the grapes aren't helping.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a clear blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out bright barnyard funk and crisp apple skins. Flavour is dry and barnyardy, with dry apple skins, wild yeast, and farmhouse notes. Complex and cohesive. Excellent as usual.
