Commercial Description:
Pale gold, bubbly, seriously dry. Richly aromatic, suggesting myriad fruits of the earth, and the earth itself, with a complex, palate-cleansing balance of fruitiness, astringency, and acid. Alcohol content 7.5% by volume. Full cork closure, 750 ml. bottle. Delicious with many foods, much as the driest champagne can be.

As dry as anything I've ever tasted. Trust me on this one, when they say extra dry, they mean it. The flavor was not too bad on this one, perhaps too much was lost in the aftertaste to leave a real positive impression on me. It lacked the sweetness I look for in a good cider, but was still one I might try again given a chance. I think before then though, I'll make an effort to try some of their other varieties first. Decesnt nose but incredibly dry, bland aftertaste spoiled it.

From a 750 ml bottle. The body is medium gold with a thin white head. The aroma is woody with some tart apples. There is also a little bit of earthy nutmeg. The body is light with a small amount of carbonation. The taste is lightly tart, but truns dry immediately. There is a little bit of apple core in here. A decent cider with a little bit of a vinous character.

Bottle sampled on 9/15/07: Pours a transparent pale golden with a nicely-lacing spotty white head. Aroma of fresh tart apples and a touch of sweet fruitiness. Body starts lightly sweet with good crisp tartness and apple flavor toward a thinner, but very drinkable finish. A nice cider.

I like ciders. They were good to me when the ABV law in GA was 6%. Poured a clear light golden yellow color. Crisp sweet apple aroma of both red and green apples. Sweet and full. The flavor was lightly acidic. Sweet apple start with a crisp dry finish.

Pale straw colour, some apple skin tannins. Dusty and dry with a fairly crisp tartness. Lean body. Very fizzy and tart. Light wildness with some late dryness. Another lovely cider from Farnum.

Thanks to JoeMcphee for sharing. Completely clear, Bud Light, macro yellow color. Aroma is alcoholic apple, were the alcohol is just enough to be felt but not overpowering. Taste is really not sweet with just hints of cider. A very fizzy mouthfeel but works well here. Aftertaste is light granny smith. And when they say extra-dry, they really do mean it. A nice experience, I may give this cider thing more of a try.
