2012 vintage (April 16-2012-19). Completely clear straw yellow hued pour with signs of carbonation but no visual head (unlike their other ciders). Aromas are nicely warming, zesty, fresh baked bread, a bit yeasty, doughy, good acid, tannic apple skins, vibrant fruit. Exceptionally good nose. Flavors are quite fruity, medium dry. A but heavy on the body for what I expected. Slightly carbonic. Vibrant fruit, good strong acid balance with medium tannin. Pretty clean otherwise, very light sulfur. Slight hint of leathery funk as it warms. Very pleasant.

NV (check that: marked July 25 2012-07) 9.5% ABV bottle (I have a feeling these entries need to be merged). Pours with a pale straw yellow body, great clarity, medium white ring with evident carbonation. Some legs. Sweet, fragrant and floral aroma, dates and marzipan, bitter orange peel and rum cakes. Bready and a bit yeasty. Brown sugar and biscuits. A very interesting and fragrant cider. Unique. Orgeat. Flavors of almonds, citrus peel and bright apple. Slight fruit cake like and maderarized. Pretty dry, citrusy, bright. Very unique, great natural balance of sweetness, tannin and acidity. Medium carbonation. Great flavor and complexity.

Bottle. Pours with a crystal clear full golden hue with massive carbonation that settles down to a white ring. Aromas are of medium strong bretty funk, dry tannins, acidic, lightly tart apples, straw, damp flowers and a bit of mineral earthiness. Flavors show good acid balance, medium strong tannin, bone dry with a large carbonic hit. Medium floral character and zesty bright fruit. Pleasant funk that is quite a bit more subdued than it was on the nose. Very lively, bone dry, medium-light body with well hidden alcohol. Easy and pleasant to drink with satisfying complexity.

Draught (7,2%) @ Brouwer’s Cafe, Seattle
Aroma has lots of somewhat tart apples with leathery and earthy notes. Flaovur is really dry and somewhat tart with apples and leathery notes. Good, although I expected more aggressive stuff based on the word ’lambic’.

Aroma is rather strong on apples and some leathery notes. Flavour has slightly floury apples, rum and woody notes. Hides the ABV very well. Good.

750mL bottle, pours a mostly clear amber orange with a tiny, quickly-dissipating white head. Aroma is very potent, revealing vanilla, bourbon barrels, rum, brown sugar, slight vinegary tartness and sweet apples. Flavour is equally complex, with upfront notes of apple tartness, and vinegary acidity, with secondary notes of bourbon barrels, rum, and vanilla. Medium sweetness, but it is balanced nicely with the acidity. The vinegary acidity quality lingers with the rum and barrels, and a medium alcohol burn. Very enjoyable.
