On tap at Crooked City Cider House, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of nectarine upfront, and bone dry crisp apples. Flavour is bright, crisp, and dry, with bright, dry nectarines, crisp apple skins. Bright, dry, and fruity finish, though not the most complex. Good.

Can from Nugget Market in Woodland, CA. Pours clear light bright gold with a few white bubbles. Aroma of ripe nectarines with a note of apple skin - green I think. Near med body. Flavor is nectarine, quickly followed by yellow apple skin, quickly replaced by nectarine. Dry. Slightly tart. Very refreshing.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours perry color with a very slight white head that left quickly. Aroma is sort of citrusy with cider backup. Med minus body. Flavor is citrus, but not anything like the usual suspects. Earthy grapefruit rind? Close that. Very dry. The apple flavor is definitely subordinate to the Yuzu fruit. Rather quaffable compared to many ciders.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is like Mary Ellen strawberry jam - which I have not tasted/smelled since who knows when. Med body or nearly. Flavor is tart cider with strawberry skin and seeds. Jam in the aroma, but not in the mouth. Decent cider tho.
