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.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow with small frothy white head that diminishes quickly to nothing. The aroma is honey and champagne. Thin mouthfeel with a tangy malt and dry fruit with nice dry finish. A very good cider from Crispin.
