Sahred bottle. GOlden color. Aroma of honey, oranges, herbal notes, pineapples. Taste wasn't sweet as I expected, fruity, orang, tangerines, pineapples, some herbs. Good.

Alright well this is it. The last rating. I thought why not go back home and get something from my former home of Bloomington, plus I had wanted a mead for some time anyway. OK so this one isn't all that great. Light bodied, hints at honey and white wine, light solvent notes. Semi-sweet. Pale yellow-straw.

This cider smells of apple, oak, and vanilla. The flavor is quite sweet, but not sickeningly so. The bourbon blends well, particularly as it warms. Nice cider.

This cider has a pleasant peach heavy aroma. The flavor is a peach and apple sugar bomb. It’s just too sweet. It’s still drinkable but the promise of that nice, fruity aroma is kind of spoiled by overdoing the sugar.

Kroger, 29N, Bottle. Pours off-clear, with just a hint of yellow to this water. No carbonation evident. Aroma is coconut (?), vanilla, apple. Flavor is apple, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon... it does taste like apple pie - they nailed it. No carbonation, but that's fine. I can't imagine drinking more than a glass. Thankfully I can cork it and have more another day.

bottle, rated in Aug 2017 - Aroma is of apples and cinnamon. The flavor is sweet-ish apples with some cinnamon. Unremarkable though easy enough to drink.

Its alright. Clean straightforward apple flavors, a bit on the sweet side, a tad heavy, but not surprising at 8% abv. No real depth or anything interesting however. Try a different yeast. Sorry hometown winery.
