Bottle. Cloudy pale chalky yellow color, few champagne bubbles. Aroma of of dusty apple skins, rising white bread dough. Taste is slightly sour fleshy apples, sublte carbonation leads to a nice mouthfeel. Tasty.

Bottle: Poured a light pale yellow color cider with light bubbly head. Aroma of light semi-sweet apple notes is pretty straight forward. Taste is dominated by semi-sweet apple notes with a dry finish. Body is light with spritzer –like carbonation. This is a pretty bland cider that could sue additional complexity.

Bottle, from the IGA in Sidney, MT. Hazy pale yellow pour with virtually no head. Nose is floral and fruity, along with the Belgian yeast. Crisp, reminds me of the dry non-alcoholic sparkling cider from New Years... Flavor has more of the apple cider flavor, along with the yeast. The intensity is sort of a sleeper; not overwhelming, but firm. Overall an enjoyable experience.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a white wine glass. Pours hazy golden with small ring of head that dissapates fast. No lacing, medium body, low carbonation, and nice apple aroma. Taste is oak, rye whiskey, some apple, and a hint of honey, Complex cider, but it is doesn’t meld for me.

Sampled at the 2013 Chicago Cider Summit. Pours a cloudy pale gold with no head whatsoever. Aroma is a touch boozy, with sweet apple and a bit of earthy apple as well. Flavor has much more musty apple with a bit of tartness that comes out in the finish and is smooth.

Bottle (with some disturbingly chunky sediment). Pours with a must gold hued body with chunks (label suggested swirling). No real head. Aromas of barrel, spicy, musty, oak, rye, flint, apple sauce and lots of minerals. Slightly boozy, medium fruity. Flavors show lots of toasty oak notes: lactone and vanillin. Some isoamyl acetate, which seems a bit common for Crispin. Lots of rye/bourbon notes, apple sauce and cola. Off dry, medium bodied, low tannin but woody finish.

Bourbony apple jack nose. Really awful dingy golden color, opaque, full of floaties, like water and chicken grease in a glass. Bourbon and apple flavor, as expected, with the latter dominant. There is an intrusive plastic component. Tasty and ugly.
