Bomber from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a very hazy lemon yellow with a nearly nonexistent head that fades quickly. Aroma of dry apples with an earthy note reminiscent of sake. The taste is apples, melons, citrus, vanilla. The sake yeast really comes through in a big way and I think it works well. Fairly dry overall with a bit of sweetness. Low carbonation. Tasty cider.

Bomber. Pours hazy copper with no head. Aroma is nutty, butterscotch--odd. Taste is almost cloying sweet, weird. The nutty butterscotch flavors overpower the apples almost. At first I thought it was going to be a drainpour, but it started to grow on me a little bit, oddly enough.

Stout yeast is interesting

On tap. Pours with a hazy straw yellow body with a somewhat lasting white head. Aromas are sweet, apple sauce, jammy with some interesting aromatics. Green apple, grassy, estery, light barrel. Sweet overall. Flavors are herbal, a bit of sage, and sweet apple. Light bubbles, a bit sticky.

Nice light tart apple and medium sweetness in the aroma. Flavor is crisp tart apple, light sweetness. Very refreshing with a nice mild dry finish. Great cider for a warm summer eve.
