Deep redish with a small white head. Cranberry and cherry notes. Red fruit, light apple and a touch of the cherry pit.

330mL bottle, pours a dark murky red with a small beige head. Nose brings out tart, pithy blackberries, some grapes, and tart red apples. Flavour is quite fruity, with a muddled mix of berries, earth notes, and some red apple core. A little muddled and lacking cohesion, but it's alright.

Some good foam and soft clear light yellow body, good carbonation. Dry apple dominates with only vague hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Flavour brings out more cinnamon and vanilla, not sure what happened to the star anise. Nonetheless the balance is great, highly drinkable and very nicely done.

Has great deep pink body and modest foam, the aroma is all musty berry. Flavour is soft berry with red wine notes. Mouthfeel is dry, good tannins in there but it could be a little fuller. This has some nice elements, it would be nice if it was a little more rich.

Clear white body, good foam, nice heavy carbonation in small bubbles. Very soft dry apple on the nose, skins present. Flavour is indeed dry apple, crisp carbonation, sweetness is not there. Light on the tongue. A nice cider, though one dimensional on the flavour.

Very nice foam and a white wine body with heavy carbonation, small bubbles. On the nose I pick up potpourri hints, a bit of sharp herbs, and some apple cider. Flavour is kind of muddy, lavender notes dull out the rose petal if there is any. Mouthfeel is okay. I think excluding the lavender would have been a better idea, this needs to be brighter to deliver what's on the label.

Minimal foam on a light white body, roundish apple aroma with sweet hops. Flavour is more sweet apple, round, with soft hop hints. Crisp carbonation. Could be brighter overall.

Nice clear white body and a little foam, sweet apples with floral hints on the nose. Flavour is good green apples, soft sweetness, slight vegetable notes. Not too complex but satisfying to drink.

Pours a semi-foggy gold with fast disappearing head, soft apple funk resembling freshly polished linoleum from 1971 on the nose. Flavour is very dry apples, lots of funk, vinyl paint from that refurbished apartment down the street when The Who were still in their prime. A very dry cider, earthy, not sweet at all, unique in that respect.

Clear white body, heavily carbonated with lasting foam, looking nice. Soft soda apple on the nose as well as botanicals but they aren't marrying well, it kinda comes across like a sewage smell. Flavour is sweet apple with very soft gin juniper notes. Sweet finish. Not bad, not a standout.
