$5 bottle from New Beer. Ommegang chalice. Cloudy wheat color; still. Slightly smokey, apple jack, minerally, strudel scent. So much subtler then the Tennessee Whiskey edition. Pie/juice apples, yeast, faint hints of whiskey, bit stronger on straight vanilla. Moderate acidity, almost no tartness. It needed bolder apples, & the wit yeast didn’t do much for me either. The barrels notes were very nice, though I didn’t get much spiciness from them. Still, yeasty/itchy body, mild alcohol(for what it is). Only 130 calories & very mild. I would enjoy glugging this cold.

12 ounce bottle from the Utah State Store. Pours a very clear golden color with a small, almost no head. A huge very sweet apple and sugar nose. The flavor is rich sweet apples, very crisp, a bit of sugars and some lingering bitterness. Quite natural, good.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a white wine glass. Pours translucent golden top and bottom and light opaque brown in the center with very small white head that quickly dissapates completely. No lacing, syrupy texture, no carbonation, and molasses aroma. Taste is molasses, some pressed complex apple, hint of of alcohol, and finishes butterscotch. Tastes more like molasses than cider, pass. A little better once the sediment in bottom is included.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow with no head. The aroma is apple and funk. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet apple and tart finish. A good cider from Crispin.

One of the worst ciders I have had. Nose initially seemed like granny smith skins but moved on to jolly rancher green apple candy. Watered down baby apple juice flavor and palate.
