Bottle from their cider club, Goblet @home. Faintly hazed amber pour. Musky, barnyard, bittersweet leaning sweet nose. Skin, oak, leaves, strong barnyard, light lemon, lingering socks, stagnant water, hay, soft oxidation, decent pith, hidden acid, strong leather, chalk, yeasty, lovely old apples. Small bubbles, very tacky, strong for the abv, made my tummy hurt. Good.

Bottle from The Cat in the Glass, Manchester. Light hazy orange pour. Nose is rhubarb crumble, pear, sultanas, touch of strawberry in there too. Taste is rhubarb crumble, pear drops, lychee, white grape, strawberry still there in the background. Sweet, dry finish.

Bottle from their cider club. Stemless wine glass @home with a hunk of fresh, crumbly cheese. Frothy pour, orange gold, some jellied haze. Nose it upfront honey, earth/leaves, lime, papaya, tiny bit of sulfur. Nicely tart, sour plum pit, sharp & sweet eating apples, lots of ripe pineapple, lemon lime seltzer, mellow yeast on the finish. Okay carbonation, lingering & drying tartness, abv is okay at a low 7%. Solid.

750 from their latest bottle club shipment. Month in the basement, couple weeks in the fridge. Mojito glass @home. Cloudy, honey gold. Strong, but short-lived soda head. Iron, earth, macerated bittersweet apples, veg. Very sharp, moderate acidity. Super pithy popsicle, iron, lemon, watery tropical fruit, cherry pit, leftover yeasties, lingering astringent tea in a beautiful way. Great carbonation, solid bite, cleansing, just enough residual yeast to not get creamy. Good to great.

Bottle from their cider club. Mojito glass @home. Started writing this review last night but got so damn bored, I walked away. Notes got erased when the page refreshed. Clear, vibrant gold, mostly still pour. Oak, fresh hay, sharp-nosed apple juice, clay. Kinda muted. Taste is tart skin, sour cherry pits, lemon, old wood, rose, residual yeast, subtle plastic. Very sharp & kinda sour. Intentionally still. Watery, thin, super acidic, low abv. Too thin, small & sharp without any help.

Bottle from their cider club. Mojito glass @home. Didn't realize this was a second vintage from a much loved tree. Clear, bright, intentionally still 10k gold pour. Nose is oak, lemon tea, orange cream. Inviting, but not intense. Taste is mellow lemon iced tea, green strawberry, mustard greens, creamy yeast. Lemon zest lingers on your lips. Bland popsicle finish. It snaps more as it warms. Not as sharp as 21 Albee, but that only had a bit of Northern Spy. Overall projection of flavor is mild & a little disappointing. Basically, it tastes good, but watered down. My '17 rating(in 2020) was similar, but notes it was bold & boozy. Absurdly thin, slightly minerally, way low abv. Not liking the plethora of 6-7% ciders coming through. If there isn't enough to go around, I'd rather it be taproom only then stretched out & released.

No Golden Russet in this one, woohoo! Bottle from their cider club. Lo-ball glass @home. Lots of bubbles for something intentionally still. Clear, gold, hint of orange/amber. Citrusy, white grape, candy nose. Empty front end, high acid lemon tea middle, very sharp & hibiscus-y, touch of peach pith on the back as it dries out. Drinks fast as is. Alcohol is too low, texture too smooth, for what is suppose to be a signature, yearly awaited label. Without the notoriety, it's a great quaffer, but that's not what you're buying. Fine.

Bottle from their cider club. Month i the fridge. Lo-ball @home. Still some floaties, despite the disgorging & settling. Generic 14k gold pour, mostly clear, weak head. Cooked apples & lemons, sharp, pound cake, very faint earthy funk. Oddball. Nice acidity & crab tartness turn into a vanilla citrus cake sort of offering. Like the initial dryness that quince adds, but the leftover perry sugars make it more dessert-y. Finish has just a slight edge of funk to it as it tries to turns back to dry. Solid carbonation, maybe a hair low for Eve's. Alcohol is more accommodating to the flavors, warmer then what they've been putting out lately. Touch of a headache, who knows. Fun.

Bottle from their cider club. Lo-ball @home. Bottle bomb, mostly contained. Extra foamy pours, pale gold, opaque & a bit chunky. Smell is faded spice, sidra, yeast cake, salt. Taste is a little saline & sweet. Vinegar wants to peek out, but doesn't fully. Tart, lime-ish apples, very salty, generic sweetness, drying, clay finish. Too sweet. Thin, frothy, airy, sugary, whatever abv. Great bubbles. Expected more here. A little sloppy for a usually well done brand.
