On tap at Bale Breaker - Ballard, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle, crisp apple skins; not a whole lot else. Flavour is low-to-medium sweet, with crisp apple skins, maybe a touch of wild stuff. Carbonation is above average and fittingly so. The nose seemed underwhelming but the palate is solid. Good stuff.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Ballard, pours a clear copper amber with a small white head. Aroma is fairly fruity, with light-to-medium apple sweetness, and a bit of treacle. Flavour is much drier than the nose suggests, with a sort of dry buttery character and some toffee apple. Not exactly reminiscent of a French cider in that there's no farmhouse character, but it does not have some dryness and depth. Good.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Ballard, pours a clear reddish/pinkish amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is very fruity and cocktail-like, with orange zest, light cranberry and booze. Flavour is full of bitter orange zest upfront, followed by cranberry and some cocktail-like booziness. Not my thing, but I must admit they've hit the nail on the head with this. Solid enough.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Ballard, pours a clear pale blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma is gently oaky, with crisp apple skins and a hint of vinous character. Flavour is somewhat buttery—Chardonnay like, not diacetyl—with oak, some vinous notes, crisp apple skins, and gentle acidity. Interesting concoction; quite a lot more complex than your standard cider. Very good.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Ballard, pours a clear ros� colour with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out lots of ros� floral notes, moderate sweetness, and crisp apple skins. Flavour reveals lots of apple core, complex ros� wine-like notes, crisp apple skins, and gentle acidity. Really quite a lot of complexity here. Love that ros� character. Excellent.
