Awesome perry! Medium sweet pears with red/white wine, vanilla, oak, and light spice. Great balance/complexity. Very smooth/light carb.

Bottle at PIB 2015, pours a murky orange with a tiny head. Aroma is very yeasty, with dry apples and dirty yeast. Flavour brings out Belgian yeast, candied sugar, and medium sweet apples. As bad as it looks, it's balanced well and tastes great. Really good.

Pours a murky lemonade color with a thin white head that disappears quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of apples and yeast. Medium-bodied with flavors of mildly tart apples, herbal yeast and sweet maple. The finish is sweet and fruity with an apple cider aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sampled from a 12 oz clear bottle this cider poured a pale yellow color with No head and no lacing. The aroma was sweet and tangy pear and apple. The flavor was sweetish pear, a bit of apple and a touch of bread dough. Medium length finish. Medium body.

Bourbon, apple, and oak aroma in nearly equal measure and good intensity. Cloudy golden, very chunky, some legs. Apple is dominant, but secondary bourbon and oak are fairly evident. Medium body, easy carbonation. Surprisingly crisp and not at all boozy despite being full of bourbon flavor. I wasn’t expecting much as this bottle had a bit of age, but it held up well. I quite enjoyed it.

Sample at the Jackie O’s Staff Bottle Tasting Part 1 on 04/11/2015. This Cider pours a cloudy straw-gold color with a medium white head that evaporates steadily to a film. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of applies, oak and spices. Medium body with flavors of tart apples, oaky vanilla and sweet spices. The finish is fruity with a woody and apple aftertaste. Above average overall.
