Bottle at PIB 2015, pours a clear golden yellow with no head. Nose brings out vanilla, whiskey, and light honey. Flavour is really complex, with vanilla, whiskey, smoke, and green apples. So amazingly complex and cohesive. Fantastic stuff.

Some smoke in this and comes together pretty well for a cider. Some apple peel bitterness and sweet and sour finish. Bottle shared at tasting.

Draught at Collective on Tap, Woodinville, WA
Pale blond color with small head. Delicate cider, with lean and dry mouthfeel, apple and lemon notes, and very light oak presence. The alcohol is well hidden.
Very nice.

Bottle at Capitol Cider, Seattle
Pale yellow color. Nice aroma of apple skins, almost smokey. The mouthfeel is quite dry, but also soft; nice apple flavor, and pleasant light astringency in the final.
Good cider, similar to the French ciders, more character than the usual American ciders.

Hazy pale blond color. Mild aroma of apples. Quite good apple flavor, the mouthfeel is not too weak, with respectable acidity, and soft sweetness.
Pleasant.
