On tap at Bottlecraft - Little Italy, pours a clear rosé with a small white head. Aroma is full of rosé wine, crisp apple skins, and some red apple core. Flavour is fairly dry, with lots of red apple core, red apple skins, and light rosé wine notes. Nice apple character, sufficiently dry; not terribly complex but well-constructed.

On tap at Beer Run - Chelsea, pours a clear pale golden with a tiny white head. Aroma has semi-sweet green apple skins and gentle farmhouse notes. Flavour is very sweet, especially for a French cider, with sweet apple juice and almost no hint of farmhouse notes. Light spritzy finish, with an apple juice concentrate character I can�t shake. Not great.
