Single can from Press. Chilled pint glass @home. Clear, MGD pure gold pour, weak head. Smells mainly of tart apples & sweet lettuce. A little minerally, a little bitter core with a pittance of maceration. Snappy upfront, but mainly bittersweet leaning more astringent with green stone fruit. Acid forward & refreshing, slight pineapple, a mix of puckering & tannic apples. Finish is Apirin-y & sulfite-y, but fruity & convincing of having another. Doesn't really taste like a hot, tropical, west coast cider. Very thin. Carbonation is whatever, but exists. ABV runs hot for the low number. Pretty good. Dirt cheap($5/12oz) for a legit, multi-faceted, well made cider.

Can. Pours hazy straw, small white head, minimal lacing. Aroma is funky pears, hint of smoke. Flavor is light sweet, no bitterness. Quite interesting. Light body, enjoyable.

On tap at Crooked City Cider House, pours a hazy yellowish blonde, no head. Aroma brings out lots of guava and apricot upfront, with crisp dry apple skins. Flavour is fruity, dry and lightly funky, with bright guava, a little bright apricot, and a touch of wild character. Fairly dry, with a sweetish finish. Pleasant.
