Tap at 2014 Capitol Beer Fest. Pour is dark gold with no head. Mixed vanilla/oak/cider aromas. Med body. Tangy, seems a bit bourbon, but that’s apparently vanilla from the oak per the brewer. Very complex. Very tasty and dry. Amazing.

This reminded me of a whiskey cocktail with plenty of fruit juice. Pours a pale, cloudy yellow with a small head. Aroma is whiskey, peach, mint, and obviously, plenty of apples. Taste is a crisp combination of peach, mint, vanilla, and whiskey. While this was complex and interesting, I am not sure if I really liked it all that much.

22oz bomber. Hazy, unfiltered, creamy yellow-tan body. Not much of a head, some soda-like carbonation bubbles. Big apple aroma, some alcohol. I don’t really get much Trappist yeast character. The maple syrup adds some depth. Not really my favorite cider, too big to session on, and not enough depth to really sit and savor. Maybe nice to help out with palate fatigue, or flavor monotony, but this isn’t one I’d seek out again.

Growler courtesy of dkachur at the 15th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering on 07/16/2011. Somewhat hazy golden yellow body with a small frothy white head. Sweet apple, fruit, and vanilla aroma. Sweet apple flavor, light vanilla, and wine character. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Georgia!!! Georgia on my mind….
12 ounce bottle from Beer Run. Pours a hazy yellow-orange color with a frothy white head that actually sticks around. Aroma of big honey notes, mint, peach, butterscotch candy (not in a bad way) and a mild apple tartness. The taste is peaches, mint, apples, caramel, honey. Mild whiskey notes in the finish. Medium bodied with a bit of lingering spice. They went for a Southern-style cocktail… a peach julepy thing… and it works well. I can see how the flavors might be strange or over-bearing for some, but I like this quite a bit.

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.
