Tasting at Ryan's, bottle
Pale red colour, clean, no head. The aroma has some fruity candy elements. Mild but pleasant apple juice flavour, which is better than most BC ciders, at least there's that; mild sweetness, soft mouthfeel, mild acidity, moderate berry juice. Not elegant, not complex, but it's pleasant enough.

750ml (thx, Mathieu A.!) @ Ryan's shared with Faress and Alex. Appearance: copper with some rose notes. It looks lile an ice cider. Aroma: quite heavy baked apples, some apple seeds, raspberries, sweet and tart. Taste: it tastes like a significantly watered-down ice cider with raspberry notes. Overall: ok.

375ml (thx, Mathieu A.) @ 🏡. Virtually shared with Ryan, hehe. Vintage 2014. Appearance: clear dark copper. Aroma: very nice sweet red apples with some acidity, caramel. Taste: very thick, one of the thickest I've ever had probably, very sweet too, some acidity. Caramel and toffee. Round and smooth. Overall: very nice one, I would wish to have a bit more acidity here to balance the sweetness, however, the product is very nice in any case.

Bottled at the RBESG 2023 grand tasting, enormous thanks Gene! Golden body. Sweet perry aroma, simple as that. Sweet perry taste, peppery, smooth, ultimately fairly one-dimensional, but lovely nonetheless!
Sweet, apples, honey, herbal, very ripe pears
