Apr 25, 2008 25 oz bottle, shared by kmweaver. Pours a clear pale yellow with a small fizzy white head. Minimal to no visible carbonation. Nice fresh clean apple nose with a bit of funkiness. The flavor is fresh pressed juice, nicely balaned between the sweet and tart notes, leaning towards the sweet side. A little dry funkiness on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation. Nice lingering fruity finish. Overall, very nice for my limited experience with cider.

Apr 5, 2008 750mL bottle. Pours a clear, oily medium golden-yellow color; basically headless. Tons of fresh apple cider and funk in the aroma; just gorgeous, funky fresh apple presence. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: loads of fresh apples, funk, sugar and generous apple cider; unlike ice ciders, this has just tons of dry, fresh apple presence; fresh-pressed apples and cobwebby funk. Great, funky-dry cider; intensely drinkable. Medium finish, showing sugar, apple cider, and just a touch of honey.

Feb 2, 2008 Boboski hooks it up again. Ciders are something I have truly come to adore and actively seek out, and this one is up there as one of my all time favorites. The cider pours a perfectly crystalline color, with a fine bead of bubbles wafting upwards vigorously. The aroma is beguiling, complex and almost otherworldly. The fusion of Earth and orchard are evident. Hints of wood, vanilla, acidic apples, floral notes, hints of citrus zests and a touch of alcohol to balance everything nicely. The flavor is an epiphany, With a dry apple note to start everything off in the right direction, with the wood balancing the mid-notes, the close is a delicate and graceful acidity, pulling everything together. Absolute a stunning creation and worthy of further praise.
