7.4/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Pours with really nice foam on a light clear gold body, heavy carbonation of small bubbles. The aroma is dry cider with nice oak and vanilla notes, rye whisky as well, very nicely balanced. Flavour is tart dry apple cider with modest rye whiskey on the back end, apple taking centre stage. Nice dry finish but ends up a bit too boozy. Nonetheless all things considered this is quite nice. 750ml bottle listed at 8.0% abv.

Draught at the Parallel 49, Vancouver
Very pale yellow, clean. Strong cider aroma, clean, with a hint of plastic. Very dry mouthfeel; banal flavour, with mild tartness, and mineral finish.
One more boring BC cider.

Draught at Container, Vancouver, as Higher Education 2019
Pale blond colour. Mild lemony and funky character, mild acidity, but also quite weak, and short in the finish.
Not the worst BC cider…

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear blonde, no head. Aroma brings out light rosοΏ½ notes, with crisp apples and light wild yeast. Flavour is crisp, with gently acidic apples, rosοΏ½ wine notes, and apple skins. Nicely made, but nothing special.

Smells softly of nice fruitiness of no distinction. Has a good light pink clear body but no foam. Flavour is good crisp fruitiness but not that good. Crisp enough mouthfeel. Decent, okay, middling.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear beige with a small white head. Aroma brings out light vinous notes, a touch of red berries, and crisp red apples. Flavour is similar, with red apples, some red wine and a touch of floral notes. Medium sweet, with little depth. Decent cider.

Oh-em-ghee they are adjusting the lighting in this joint on a saturday night. But it won't help: this cider is a very bright yellow with no foam to speak of. Ho Lee Phuque ( a Vietnamese friend of mine) says it looks like too much pee after Ho Chi Minh Day. In all honesty it tastes like semi rotten apples, with a somewhat dry finish. An okay cider in fact, dry enough and holding back on the sweetness; however still not spectacular.
