O- Good but I really wanted more sour rhubarb. This was heavy on the strawberry. Well made for sure just not quite the flavor profile I was after.

Super clear, and deeply pale, almost white coloured body with a faint golden colour along with a thinnish, barely noticeable pure white head that fades just as fast as soda, for whatever head even existed the first place. Aroma of pure sweetness of honey, caster sugar, apples, pears, pineapple and a dash more of absolute pure fructose - quite strong and very sweet. Light-bodied; Super strong and incredibly rich pure caster sugar and apple flavours dominate, with a pungent pineapple and passionfruit/lilikoi note along with a light hint of quince/guava along with some papaya and pure melon flavours with the yeast and lightly dry notes, but this really is about two things - fresh fruits (and tons of them) and cloyingly sweet sugars. Aftertaste shows that pure honey and apple sweetness with a bunch more tropical fruits with some fresh pineapple coming strong and a light yeast and bready note. Overall, a very strong and incredibly pungent and powerful cider with some nice notes from the fruits, but much too cloying, sweet and one-dimensional. In finale, this one is a a deep and soft beer with some nice melodies, but something has been taken from it, and it's simplicity is perhaps more ajaring.

Draft. A- Floral, lavender. A- Yellow color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Floral, honey. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, floral finish. O- The lavender adds a very strong floral essence throughout. I do like this but wish the earthy notes were a bit more subdued and a honey sweetness came through more.

Can/Fest. A- Ginger. A- Pink color, clear liquid, white head. T- Ginger, mild hibiscus. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Lots of ginger. Okay in small amounts but it's too ginger forward and hibiscus only seems to add to the color.

Perfectly clear pink coloured body with no head at all, that looks like a very nice rose wine with a lot of bubbles rising from the bottom and sides. Aroma of very light ginger, some subdued apples, pears, grain and a dose of pure caster sugar. Light-bodied; Sharp ginger and apple flavours with some pear and a tart cranberry and herbal notes that perhaps show the hibiscus and flowers towards the end that have a touch of dryness as well. Aftertaste shows the apples, pears, honey and a bit of the dryand tart notes from the floral and hibiscus flavours that show through at the end. Overall, a fairly well-balanced cider with the nice and strong ginger flavours with a dose of sweetness from the fruits and showing the tartness of the herbs and flowers in a good way. One of the better ciders that I've had in a while, especially those based on some herbal aspects. Good to try if you can find this one!
