Golden color with no head but sticky legs on the glass. Aroma of granny smith apples, vanilla, wood, and bread. Taste of citrus, tart green apple, vanilla and alcohol. The tartness was fantastic on the outside of the tongue. Thanks TomDecapolis!

Pours a translucent golen with no head. Aroma of apples, apple skins, vanilla, pie crust, short bread cookies. Flavor of apples, bread, sweet then just total smoothness. So smooth and tasty, sugar cookie goodness.

Bottle at home ... HUGE thanks to Goldorak for this one when he passed through Edinburgh ... crisp light amber ... sweet fruity apple nose ... sweet apple ... oh so sweet ... but at the same time crisp like biting into a tart apple... fulll boddied ... little syrupy ... definite apple bite in back of throat.

375 mL bottle from Whole Foods Market Glen Allen, VA. Pours a clear pale gold color. Big rich apple aroma. Deep, earthy and sweet with a tart twinge that lends an almost spicy and citrusy note. Taste is tart apples. Very tart but also a sweet note. Thick mouthfeel, full bodied. A nearly portlike character overall. Good cider.

50ml bottle, purchased in 10/05. The cider threw some sediment in that time. Reddish color that was clear before I mixed a bit of the dregs in. The aroma is cinnamon, tart apple and some dark fruits. Oxidation is present, but not in a bad way, though the cider wouldn’t seem to be able to age much more, at least not in this size container. Taste is tart apples, wood, dark brown sugar and a prominent dark caramel or toffee flavor. There is enough here to enjoy the small drink that I get, but I’ll bet it is much tastier a little more fresh.
