Bottle from the Co-Op in Eureka, CA. Pours hazy perry color. Aroma is something brightly fruit sweet. Certainly not skin. It does suggest pear a bit. Med body. It’s quite fresh tasting, just lightly sweet, and a little apple skin does come out. Still, it’s not your standard cider. It’s quite tasty. Gets just a little towards astringent apple in the finish. Lovely stuff.

Bottle from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours slightly translucent light gold with white bubbles. For aroma it’s mostly peach/mint. Med minus body. Flavor is honey, apple skins, mint, peach, and after a long time some oak, maybe bourbon. It’s rather smooth and drinkable. Not quite dry, but not very sweet - other than honey sticking to lips. Quite drinkable.

12 oz. bottle. Light, hazy, yellow, with a small, bubbly, off-white head. The aroma is peaches, vanilla, granny smith apples, and cinnamon. Sweet flavor, but a little tart and bitter. Medium body, acidic, and relatively dry. Overall, this is a confused mess of a cider. I appreciate what they are trying to do, but there is too much going on.

12oz bottle. Poured a completely translucent pale golden yellow color with a very small haze to it. Not a whole lot of head, but some nice carbonation. Aroma was bourbon barrels, sweet light cider. Flavor was pretty good, a nice cider with a smooth oak finish.

Pours hazy peach into a shaker. No head. Peach cobbler aromas. Sweet vanilla and mint upfront turning to peach before the lasting hot bourbon and pie crust finish.

Sample at the Ale Wine & Spirits beer tasting on 11/07/2013. Hazy golden color with a thin and foamy white head that dissipates quickly to a film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of peaches and subtle bourbon. Light to medium body with flavors of sweet peaches, oaky vanilla and mild booze. The finish is sweet with a vanilla and apple aftertaste. Surprisingly decent overall.

Bottle sampled at a tasting event. From notes. Tart and sour. Green apples with a hint of sweet red apple. Not bad.

16oz can poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark orange with almost no head. Aroma of green and red apples with a little jolly rancher sweetness. Taste is light sweet. Apples with a hint of baking spices. Crisp and slightly funky. Medium bodied with a slightly sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a suprisingly long finish. Overall, not bad. Pretty darn good actually. EDIT: There is a definite brett funk in the aftertaste. Pretty cool.
