750ml bottle purchased from the cidery’s booth in the Union Square farmers’ market - somewhat hazy, very light golden pour, with a small head fed by a continuous stream of bubbles traveling up the sides of the glass - light but pleasant barnyardy aroma (almost gueuze-ish), slight funkiness, with a soft background smell of over-ripe apples - light apple sweetness up front, followed by a crisp, almost spicy character that swells in the mouth - very subdued earthy qualities follow, leading into a long, dry, almost funky tart finish - crisp, light and refreshing, which is a bit dangerous considering the abv, but a quality cider none-the-less.
