Scary cloudy, orange & almost pulpy pour @ Bad Seed BK. Pils glass. Maybe it looks more like an over juiced mimosa? Smell is mango, vanilla powdered sugar & apple peel. Citric acid bomb. Mango juice, orange juice, vodka, green peppers, creamsicle ice cream. Think Warheads got thrown into a mango smoothie that got thinned out by too much ice. Sizzling & a bit yeasty, but not really much body to speak of. Cider is non-existent. Simple, weird, effective. Can’t hate it.

Hazy yellow and straw blonde coloured body with a very thin pure white head that shows up and then disappears like a soda. Aroma of citrus, light ginger, lemongrass, apples and a dash of spices. Light-bodied with an assertive effervescence; Strong apple and spice flavour up front with a lot of hay, grasses, citrus, pure caster sugar, some light pear and apricot notes and finishing with a lot of tart and funky yeast and fruity notes - very nice throughout. Aftertaste shows some more of the funk, fruits and softer apple and pear notes with the spices lingering around at the very end, in a good way, not too pungent at all, and quite soft with the fruits. Overall, a very nice cider as expected from Graft, this one is more about the citrus and lighter, subdued qualities, but still having the complexities of the spices and the pear notes to coupled with all the apples and dry flavours. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 15-May-2018 for US$3,32 sampled at home in Washington on 28-October-2018 in celebration of running the USMC Marathon for the eighth time.

Can of poison from Covenhoven. Pint glass. Cloudy orange gold honey body. Soft blend of anise, clove, zest & apples. It’s not overdone & actually quite nice. Acidic apples & tangy zest. Smokey mead. Root beer. Slightly heavy but really carbonated. This works.

12 oz can poured into a tulip. Slightly hazy straw yellow with quick fading off-white head. Aromas of perfumy apples, spice, apple cider vinegar. Tastes of tart acidic notes, apples, light peach, light oak and funk. Light body with a dry finish.

A hazed blonde cider with aroma of sweet apple jam, light talcum, light mineral notes and tropical fruits, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity apple juice with light mineral notes, light acidic and tart notes, very nice and fragrant. On tap at Lupulus.

Beer #14 of my #7000 Beer Celebration - 7 on either side of the milestone. Super pink and violet coloured body with a thinnish, ultra-fast-dying head of pure white that covers up like a soda and vanishes. Aroma of raspberries, cranberries, light malt and then a ton of spices - allspice, coriander seed, cloves, canella and a dash of star anise throughout - quite pungent and showing almost like a thanksgiving drink more than anything else, in a great way. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong alcohol and carbonation throughout with the yeast that shows up and remains strong and pungent, but the spices that are by far the strongest in a good way, but shows the anise, allspice and canella flavours more than the dry apple qualities. Aftertaste shows some sourness and tart flavours from the all fruits and apples with a vinegar and vinous note toward the end, but in a good way to offset the spices and rich flavours earlier on. Overall, perhaps on of the best 'ciders' I've ever had - tons of character, bunches of complexity with the flavours and a rich, yet dry profile, a smooth yet deep finish and a tart and tangy drink with a lot of spices - nice and highly recommended. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 05-May-2018 for US$3,32 sampled at my house in Washington on 29-August-2018.
