Quite pale. No head. Has a tart rhubarb accent. Clean cider note is somewhat basic, and doesn't really let the rhubarb pop too much.

500mL bottle, pous a clear dull yellow, almost no head. Nose has plenty of tangy rhubarb, some acidic apple skins, and a touch of light sugars. Flavour is fairly dry, with plenty of earthy rhubarb, light-to-moderate acidity, a touch of apple core, and a touch of tannins. Nice incorporation of the rhubarb. Not complex or anything but pleasant.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear pale blonde with a super feint pink hue and very minimal white head. Clean, basic apple base with a hint of rhubarb. Pretty average.

500mL bottle. Pours clear pale blonde with a slight pinkish hue. Apple cores, tangy apple skins, and a touch of rhubarb on the nose. Flavour has tangy, slightly tart apples, some cores but mostly skins. More tartness coming from the rhubarb. Dry, which is nice, but too much of that apple core taste.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear blonde gold with spritzy carbonation. Sweet apple with very feint hint of apricot. Lacking in complexity. Average.

Poured from 473mL can (batch 2023 34). Clear reddish-pink with quickly dissapating white head. Dry apple with very feint blueberry. Not particularly interesting.

Purple colour. Nice blackberry aroma and flavour on this, lending a decent amount of sugar to it as well. There's a bit of underlying apple, and the elements seem to be reasonably balanced, if simple.

Pale. Light apple aroma, and flavour. The bourbon isn't particularly prominent here, just sort of random. Not well integrated. I'd almost rather it without the bourbon.

Poured from 500mL bottle at my 39th bday (purchased in Powell River). Clearish light amber with minimal white head. Quite plummy with a soft tart acidity, unique, interesting, has some complexity.

500ml (thx, Liam!) @ Ryan's on his 39th celebration.
Aroma: nice fermented stone fruits.
Taste: along the same lines, pretty dry, tastes like unripe apricots.
Overall: ok.
