Scents of apples and floral perfume. Lightly tart and sweet. Bit of apple skin bitterness. Fairly dry in the finish. Not as clean and dry as I would expect. skoisirius (580), Seattle, Washington, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 21, 2008 Picked up single 12-oz bottle at Cellars Wine and Spirits in Shorewood, MN. Pours a clear light straw cider with some carbonation bubbles on glass side. Aroma of apple cider, a touch of Asti Spumante and some seltzer. Taste is spritzy, light bodied with flavors of crisp apples, a touch of white grape and mild yeast. Finish is semi-dry with a crisp apple aftertaste. Not as dry as most other dry ciders but still a crisp finish.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 12, 2008 Picked up a single bottle of this at the Binny-apostrophe-s in Orland Park, IL. This pours a clear, very pale yellow, almost looking like water. The aroma, while not bad, is very faint - light, sweet apple. Gassy, highly carbonated. Straight forward crisp apple taste. Unoffensive and uninteresting.
