750 ml. bottle from Beer Revolution. 2011 Harvest. It pours a clear yellow color with a lot of fine bubbles, but no head. The aroma has some good, crisp apple notes, some hints of florals and mild smoky phenols. Overall, not too wild but just enough to keep it interesting. The flavor is very dry with lighter than average apple character that leaves me wanting a little bit more. Slightly watery on the palate. Im picking up some very distant hints of wild fermention, minerals and smoky phenols, but overall this is very subdued in character. Not really any tartness other than the apple flavor. Nothing wrong with it, and it actually drinks quite pleasant, but I prefer a more bold cider.

Seems I lost my original rating and pasted an incorrect one here. This is my attempt to re-create. Bottle received in trade. Pours tiny sparkling clear greenish golden with a small fizzy offwhite head that quickly dissipates without leaving much trace on the glass. Smell is fruity with mixed smashed apples, star fruit, vanilla, dry wood, coconut shells, minerals, lemon peal and hints of paper. Taste is tiny sweet, slightly sour and fruity. Mouthfeel is tiny sparkling, slightly dry, tart, round and medium bodied. Finish is tiny sweet and slightly sour with mixed apples, light tropical fruits, paper and hints of bourbon barrel character. Sold but a bit too papery for a top score. --- Beer merged from original tick of The Mitten on 19 Sep 2015 at 00:56 - Score: 7

Bottle. Almost clear golden liquid with fast dissipating medium white head. Aroma of apples, pears, light wood, vanilla, star fruit, light alcohol and light bourbon. Taste is dry and very light sour with notes of mango, apples, light wood and pears. Bit papery. Light to medium bodied with high carbonation. Really nice. Tastes like my home brewed barrel aged cider.
