obguthr (707), Poquoson, Virginia, USA Apr 26, 2008 2002: Apple aroma, slightly vinegary with some butter and clove. Opaque gold with lots of floaties. Musty with crisp apples and some chlorophenols. Slightly bready finish. Nicely tart but quite off. Once you acclimate yourself to the phenols, it’s not that bad.
brentfeesh (937), Gadsden, Alabama, USA Sep 27, 2008 750ml bottle. 2006. The aroma was slightly musty with plenty of fruit and apple cider. Very Champagne like with frothy bubbles on the nose. The flavor was similar with (again) apple cider and touches of cinnamon. A bit of sweet also but nothing over done. A solid effort and I would get it again. MiP (6029), Flensburg, Germany Sep 21, 2008 Bottle at EBF08. Weak apple aroma. Almost clear golden colour. Good citric apple flavour, nice and round. Finally a cider that is not crap. Grovlam (3204), Copenhagen, Denmark Sep 18, 2008 [EBF @ Copenhagen, September 2008] Thanks to Morten. Average bubbly white head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Clear sparkling pale yellow color. Lovely complex cider with notes of fresh apple, barnyard, vinegar, citrus, dusty fruity feel. Medium to full bodied with an average carbonation and dry texture. Moderated acidic flavor with good counter sweetness. Lasting apple and dusty dry finish. Wow that was a very solid Cider! eaglefan538 (2079), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Sep 14, 2008 Sampled from bottle at State Line, 2006 vintage. The pour was hazy golden in color, ample carbonation to display. The aroma was farhouse funky apples, musty cellar elements, some cinnamon too. The flavor was excellent, about as impressive as a straight cider could be. Funky musty apples with an earthy softness and woody presence. Mouthfeel was effervescent, finishes semi-dry. Thanks, Robert, good stuff, my go-to cider now (not that I ever "go-to" such things, but when I have the urge....)! yespr (6943), Copenhagen O, Denmark Sep 14, 2008 37.5 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a fully gone head. Nice phenolic and dry apple aroma. Smooth apple flavour with a nice wooden and almost smoked note. Lingering sweet yet subdued finish with smooth fruity note.
