For what is identified on the bottle as an English Draft Cider, this seemed rather strikingly similar to a French Normandy Cider. Its nose was light and clean. It poured clear to pale yellow with no head (which does make it different than most Normandies). Its taste was quite crisp, like fresh apples. Not particarly dry in the truist sense, but it did have a slightly lingering aftertaste. Overall not too bad. Thanks so much to edden for the wonderful trade for this cider.

Sep 14, 2008 Sampled from "Medium English Cider" bottle at State Line. The pour was standard color and bubbly appearance, wasn’t expecting much. The aroma was apples, light spices and mustiness. The flavor was apples, spices, some oak, and some farmhouse elements, the latter which were quite welcomed. I’m learning that I can dig some ciders if they have some musty funky notes in them. Mouthfeel was dry, smooth. Good stuff, and thanks to Robert for this tasting!

Sep 3, 2008 Bottle enjoyed at Le Cave Du Vin in Cleveland. Clear champagne like pour with plenty of carbonation to match. Funky apple barn notes under the apple cider dominance in the aroma. Cider barn pressings kept coming to mind. Plenty of clean apple flavors with a touch of hard alcohol. Cinnamon and and a very enjoyable level of sweetness. Quenching and warming. Jen and I both enjoyed this.

Aug 28, 2008 smells a tad funky, the taste is sweet and flavorful with apples and sweet water. Its nicely fizz and very drinkable.

Aug 28, 2008 The aroma is like wild yeast and apples with a light funky and musty smell. The appearance is light gold with no head. The flavor is tart and sweet with some funkiness. The palate is think but OK for a cider. Average at best for a cider.

Aug 25, 2008 pours a simple apple juice clone ... very spritzy and extremely refreshing .. pure cider, a little champagne-y ... quite dry ... medium sweetness... pretty good..
