Throwdown. Cheeseman’s surprise. Bright clear gold. Potent apple aroma. A touch floral. Pleasing sweet soft apple flavors, with a touch of light rum. Sweet, candyish almost but in a good way, a real good way. Medium bodied. Yes!

Bottle. Sweet spicy honey, apples on straw aroma. Deep golden, leaving a film with legs on the glass. Sweet fermenting apple, a hint stable, brandyish notes - refined and warming.

Light yellow/straw colour. Still. Appley nose with slight apricot and mellow floral honey notes. Very dry...puckering apple flavour with light tannin. Clean tartness is almost lactic, though certainly not as complex as I’m used to in beers this sour. Obviously they achieved their objective, but I’m not sold on this as a standalone drink. It gets more enjoyable as it warms but IMO it needs some sort of bloomy rind or chevre to provide a foil for the acidic assault. Not unlike Tantalus Old Vine Reisling, this is clearly meant to accompany food, so a bit of a tactical error on my part taking it on its own.

Light yellow. Quite fizzy. Big aroma - lots of apple and lots of nuance. I actually do get the marzipan and apricot, also canteloupe, muscovado and spicy accents. Sweetish flavour, some white sugar and fresh apple. A slight leather and brown sugar accent both softens the finish and adds complexity.

Golden colour. Nose of apple, barrel, alcohol, rum. Big flavour - apple, rum, barrel and booze. Great melding of two unnatural flavours. Intriguing, complex beverage. It’s compelling in a way I have trouble describing but trust me when I say that this is excellent, unique cider.

Pale yellow. Nice legs. Great aroma - it’s appley but complex, maybe a bit of bubblegum, and a honeyish note. Tart, complex flavour, snappy with great carbonation. Notes of honey, peach and really complex apples. Wow - this is great stuff.
