Half liter capped bottle from the cidery, 10/25/20. Hazy pale straw yellow. Head is large and fizzy but does not last. Aroma of dry apple, pepper, earth, tire leather. Taste is tea, tea leaves, tart berry, dry apple, vanilla. Medium bodied, crisp. It's weird but it all comes together. Gonna be a weird score distribution.

12 ounce can thanks? to hershiser2. 10/13/20. Thanks for the giant gummy spooge. And yeah, I also got a snotty thing from the last of the pour. And its kinda lingering in the cider. Gross. Aroma of dry apples, orange peel, soap, tires. Taste is orange peel, spice, sweet apple, apple skins, funk, vegetal notes. Thick, syrupy. It's OK but its on the verge of being a train wrek.

Half liter bottle from the cidery, 9/23/20. Hazy pale greenish yellow, thin white head, fair retention. Aroma of mint and dry apples. Taste is sweet apple, pear, mint, melon, dry apple. Medium bodied, lingering mintiness. I thought the mint might overpower, and it comes close. but overall pretty well done.

$3.50 can, WW. Clear pale gold, no head. Nose is dry apple, hint of lemon zest. Apple, dry - not the slightly sweetness, lemon zest, green leaf hint. Decent.

$3.50 can, WW. Pours hazy pale gold with... whoa (or to quote the sound that came out of my mouth whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh uh...) a giant, gummy spooge that connects to and then dislodges from the can into my glass. It settles, looks stringy, at the bottom and floating near the bottom of my pint glass. Holding it up to the light only makes this worse. Why am I looking? Do I want to smell this? Drink this? Well, wtf, these are strange times, so let's go for it. Aroma is apply, dry, funk, quite pleasant. Small sip... ok, that's nice. Tart apple, funk, grass, light citrus, floral notes, white pepper. I'm going to go ahead and drink this. Flavor is good, quite good actually. Time will determine how brave I am towards the bottom, though.

$3.50 can, WW. Hazy off-clear. No head. Apple, cranberry nose, light green - probably the rosemary. Dry apply, hint of cranberry, paper, light rosemary. Light on flavor, but it's somewhat enjoyable, I think... I don't know how I feel about this (though was excited to try it). Fizzy carbonation.
