Corked bottle at winery
Blond color with large bubbles. Fresh fruity aroma, similar to a Chardonnay but more delicate. The mouthfeel is very dry and a bit weak, less fruity and a bit winey, with mild acidity.

Cool bottle from somewhere. Pours a dark purple color with some tiny bubbles. The aroma is huge sugary berries and apples. The flavor is excellent: tart berries, tannins, big sweet apples, some light sweetness but overall tart juicy apples and lighter (in flavor) berries. Solid cider.

On tap at The Beer Mongers, pours a clear yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of extremely dry apple and habanero upfront. Flavour begins with dry apple, transitioning to habanero peppers which longer on and on. No residual sweetness to ruin this. Wonderful spicy cider.

Bottle. Pours with a crystal clear pale yellow hue with a quick to fade fizzy white head. Aromas are of chlorophenols and brett. Burnt rubber, aspartame, some what citrusy and dank hop notes. Lots of chemical off aromas. Minerally, light sulfur. Flavors are dry and chalky with medium acidity. Less off than the aroma, but still not enjoyable for an $8.99 500ml. Some bitterness, pine, sulfur, citrus. Odd cider. Full carbonation, medium-low body, dry, somewhat artificial acidity, low tannin, but balanced by a hoppy bitterness.

750ml bottle. Big expectations with the $25 price tag. 8 twists on the cage (instead of the traditional 6). Pours with an incredible amount of CO2, very fizzy looking pale hued body with a violent fizzy head. Aromas are of CO2, sulfuric apple, moderate esters. Mostly bready, dry, mineral and sulfur. Some rich grassy notes. Flavors are highly carbonic and very acidic. The balance is weird to be perfectly honest. Medium tannin, huge acid, medium low sweetness and nearly 4+ vol of CO2. To be honest, for $25 and change this is not the award winning cider that I am expecting. Very fizzy, lots of acid, medium tannin, mild ester and a lot of sulfur. Decidedly off dry. Honestly disappointed.

Bottle. Pours with a crystal clear yellow and a large fizzy white head that lasts longer than most ciders. Strongly sulfury and bretty aroma, English style it would seem, which I wasn’t expecting. Floral, mild oak lactone. A bit peppery, mild sweetness, zesty acid balance. Flavors are medium dry, lightly funky (leathery, manure), a touch of sulfur, mild oak, some salinity, grassy. Off dry but with a strong acid balance, medium minerality. Very lightly chlorophenolic. Medium carbonation, medium0full bodied for a cider. Light tannin, slightly warming.

Had immediatly after the dry hopped cider. This is slightly less refreshing due to bourbon aging but not quite dessert level. You get tart apples, with light bourbon sweetness, oak, vanilla, and some light lemon. decent cider but im no expert in this field

Sitting on chair in a shadeless driveway on hot Arizona day after drinking several big stouts it was welcome sight for a cider to make an appearance. Pours light sparkling yellow. nose of apples and hops. tastes of crisp tart apples but not overwhelmingly so, you get some grass, lemon, and hops as well. crisp but a little paper tasting on finish

Bottle from Whole Foods in Folsom. Pours perry color with a fizzy white head that didn’t last long. Aroma seems apple. Near med body. Flavor is apple with grassy/citrus hop. Not a lot, but enough to make a difference. Vive la différence! Cider should be hopped.
