375ml cork & cage from Press. Explosive release, but not much bottle of a bottle bomb; very little spillage. Clear, active, big head, medium, oily gold, subtle lace. Bittersweet, astringent, green, herbal-sweet, leaning dry. Bittersweet apples, super earthy, astringent apple skin, celery, taught & damn leathery, daunting dryness that leaves your mouth raw & numb. Slow consumption, demands food. Good but major points lost for being exhausting.

Bottle from pressthenpress. Batch 1020. Label notes say this is aged in rye whiskey. Goblet @home. Dusty, but clear, mellow gold pour. Nose is acrid, buttery, sharply boozy, with sweet vinegar. Taste is fresh & floral bittersweet juice, lingering herbal, sharp middle, peppery, lime, very mellow wood, with a strong plastic & vinegar back-end like it's just starting to turn. Sizzling soda carbonation, more like semi-sweet, thin turning creamy once it bottoms out, boozy enough. Okay.

Bottle from Kool Kegs. Lo-ball back at the hotel just before checkout. Clear, half-fizzy, cherry cola sort of color that's basically maroon on brown. Sweet n sour, vinous currant & boxed apple juice nose. Bittersweet currant, lemon tart, acidic apple core, long tannic earthy finish, with some brightness right at the end. Way better than I thought it would be.

On tap at Schilling Cider House - Seattle, pours a mostly clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma has wild yeast, light bramble berry pie, and some oak. Flavour is complex, with lots of wild yeast, bramble berry, and oak. Nice funk and berry character on the finish. Very nicely done.

Bottle. Translucent yellow gold color that is crystal clear. No head. The aroma is mild and subtle with light pears and apples. The taste mirrors the aroma--pears and apples. Semi sweet/semi dry. Palate is light but not watery, carbonation is prickly. paired superbly with some smoked Wisconsin gouda. Overall: decent treat on a Sunday morning.

Can: Poured a light yellow color perry. Aroma of fresh dry pear notes with light dry notes. Taste is dominated by dry pear notes with very little residual sugar. Average body with good carbonation. Enjoyable but dryer then I was expecting.

Sample at Old Stove. Clear ruby-purple color with a thin pinkish-white head that evaporates quickly to a wispy film. Spotty lace. Apple, spice and currants in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of apple, blackcurrant and spice. The finish is fruity with an apple and currant aftertaste. Above average overall.
