Corked bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver
Pale blond color, with a very light pinkish hue. The aroma is slightly medicinal, with very light traces of vanilla; later, some fresh aroma of apples. The mouthfeel is between dry and sweet; there is some tarty apple juice flavor, with some more sweetness than a regular cider (and much more alcohol), but no evident honey component; it has a mild vinous character. The final is lightly astringent.
Refreshing product, although too expensive for what you get.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy dark brown color cider with a small bubbly head with limited retention. Aroma of medium sweet apple with light warming notes from the screech rum barrel. Carbonation is lower then advertised though it is not necessarily a bad thing with a full body. Good balanced sweetness and good use of the barrel that provide additional complexity without cloying the whole mix.

Bottle many times, pours straw colour. Aromatic nose of bourbon, rum, brown sugar and apples - exquisite. Very complex flavour of caramel, toffee, brown sugar, bourbon, apples and champagne yeast. Finishes on the rum and apples, with a noticeable alcohol burn. Fantastic cider.

Sampled at Dunbar Liquor Boutique, pours a pale golden yellow. Dry apples, apricot and oranges dominate this one with a slight sweetness. Not bad.

Sampled at Dunbar Liquor Boutique, pours a murky orange. Flavours of apple, citrus and caramel / toffee notes, with a steady alcohol kick at the end. Quite complex and a very nice ice cider.

750 ml bottle from the cidery shared by Ennsikillen. Nose of light oaky vanilla, lightly sweet apples, and a bourbon note. Dark yellow gold with light carbonation of tiny bubbles. Flavor of sweet apples with some contrasting tartness, lightly burbony alcohol, and some caramelized brown sugar in the background. This and the 2006 were very tasty and unique!

500 ml bottle brought from the cidery by Enniskillen! Nose of light, tart apples and moderate acidity balanced with a hint of sweetness. Clear gold with some quickly dissipating bubbles. Flavor is very crisp and fresh apples, tartness, and a sugary note. Finishes lightly tart. Excellent cider1

Golden. Some barrel on the nose but also crisp apple. Light wood, vanilla, apple. Very dry and a little alcoholic. Good balance, excellent. Not as refined as the Screech version but a very fine product all the same.

Light gold colour, only lightly sparkly. The aroma leans towards brown sugar and apple but there is also a pleasing crispness as well. Lightly crisp, some fresh apple note. Refreshing. Slightly tart. Simple but tasty.

500ml bottle from CapFlu, thanks Todd. Nose of fresh tart green apples, very fresh and moderately tart smelling. Pale yellow with a small head of clear bubbles, the head dissipating quickly, but bubbles lingering on the glass sides and slowly releasing with more forming. Flavor is very tart with a moderate green apple flavor along with some apricots and a bit of background sweetness. A very tiny hint of sweetness lingers with some tartness for a finish. This is one even the sour beer boys might even like!
