Flavour is bone dry, with lots of barnyard funk, rustic notes, crisp apple skins, and some champagne-like effervescence. Bone dry, champagne-like finish with tons of funk. Excellent.

Bottle from Press Online. The best online, west coast focused cider shop. Nothing really on the east coast, but I thought being specific would be useful. V19? Lo-ball glass @home. Very similar apple bill to my recent bottle of Alpenfire Spark! Yarlington Mill subbed for Gravenstein, Kings, Melrose, & Burgundy, but everything else is the same. Quick fizz, clear, greasy, medium gold pour. Earthy, grassy, buttery, lemon, faint flowers. Sharp & truly bittersweet upfront. Lemon & black tea, one sugar cube, very slight veg. Dry, oily, lingering macerated/browned apple flavor. Medium piercing carb, beautiful heavy astringency, bittergreen, Aspirin, parching popsicle stick, glue, hint of grape. Touch boozy. Enough sharpness to not fall into a British, earthy pit of despair. Spark! is an okay gateway, but too sweet. This is the best bittersweet I've had west of the Mississippi. Really doesn't taste west coast. Harsh for some, perfect for others.

Bottle from Press online. This deserves a vintage, as the apples & allotment are always changing. Alas, there is nothing on the label. My version of this is 8.4% & Includes: Gravenstein, Kings, Melrose, Burgundy, Dabinett, Brown Snout, Vilberie & Foxwhelp. V20? Lo-ball glass @home. Three weeks sleeping in the fridge. Clear, but slightly jellied light-medium gold, active sizzle & pour. End of the bottle delivers a more yeasty experience. Earthy, honey-ed, grassy fresh, good butter. Demi-sec. Earthy & sharp upfront, dry nuts, cruising sharp & acidic middle, a little more skin, bittersweet leaning sweet finish, sulfite dust. Low to medium, constant carb, hidden abv, middling high acid, little more bite as it warms. Very approachable, refreshing, restrained, if slightly too sweet for a show pony. Extra points for the good price point though. Cheers.

On tap at The Beer Junction, pours a clear sparkly golden, no head. Aroma is bone dry, with very crisp apple skins. Flavour is likewise bone dry, giving off very apple skins, some light farmhouse character, and some hay. Bone dry, underwhelming in complexity, somewhat boozy finish. Good but not so impressive and horrendously overpriced ($6 for a 4 oz).

Bottle pour at Capitol Cider, pours a clear copper with a tiny ring of white head. Aroma is complex, with toffee apple, red apple skins, and some light funk. Flavour is bone dry, with lots of red apple skins, complex bugs, and a touch of berries. Quite complex, while maintain its bone dryness. Real nice.

On tap at growler guys pours out pale straw topped with a small head. Nose is nice sweet tart apple notes and some funk. Taste is more of the funky tart apple kick.

Bottle drank at a Thanksgiving at David's. Pours a clear oily golden hue. Huge legs. Big sweet woody and smoky nose. Super sweet notes. Slick body, sugary, smoky, huge flavors, apple essence. Lovely cider.

Farmy cider, my first real THC I think, real dry and interessnte. Funky farmhouseish cider. Kinda like it even though missing the saison mouthfeel that I'm used to in this flavor.

Sweet red fruit and cooked apple. Clear pink with a nice white head. Bitter sweet and dry red fruit and apple. Rum is lost.
