330mL bottle, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is full of that typical odd hop character when added to cider — notice actual cider character. Flavour is abrasively hopped, with a sort of perfumey character, gentle acidity, and floral notes. I don't usually like hops in cider too much, and this is worse than usual. Harsh and poorly integrated with no depth. Not good.

330mL bottle, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Nose smells like an absinthe without all the alcohol—I guess there some gentle apple acidity further back. Flavour is simply unpleasant, with artificial spiciness, booze, and light acidity. Not sure what prompted this idea. Just not pleasant.

330mL bottle, pours a clear copper, no head. Nose is full of lavender, perfumey notes, and a bit of apple skins. Flavour is way too perfumey and floral, with tons of lavender and a bit of apple acidity. Way too perfumey, no depth, and just not pleasant. Poor.

330mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out cinnamon and other winter spices, along with medium sweet apple juice. Flavour is very spice-dominant, with lots of cinnamon, maybe some nutmeg, and medium sweet apples. The spiciness imparts an odd astringency. No complexity whatsoever, but it's drinkable nonetheless.

330mL bottle, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma burns the nostril hairs with hot peppers and smoke—very vegetal. Flavour is not as bizarre, with spicy peppers, vegetal notes, and apple skins. There's not much to like here. Little residual sweetness but the vegetal character is unpleasant. Poor.

330mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is quite dry, with lots of musty grape skins, with a crisp apple skin character, and some farmhouse notes. Flavour is exactly on target, with lots of vinous notes, musty grapes, and gentle farmhouse character. Bone dry, with little residual sweetness. Moderately complex, with a nice grape skin finish. Good stuff.

330mL can, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light caramel, vanilla, moderately sweet toffee apple. Flavour brings out toffee apple, medium sweetness, caramel, and light vanilla. On the sweet side for me, but cohesive enough and pleasant flavours. Decent.

330mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Nose brings out toffee, brown sugar, crisp apple skins, and a touch of apple juice—that's quite nice. Flavour is surprisingly nice, with a fairly dry toffee apple character, a little brown sugar, and just enough crispness to reign in the sweetness. Much prefer this to the Bon-Dri. It's still not the most complex cider, but it's well-made.
