emerica56 (485), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA May 13, 2008 Pours a yellow color with a head that fades as quick as the pour. The nose is very weak with saome hints of pear and apple with a tart finish. The initial flavor is very tart with pear and apple sweetness and it seems to be well balanced. There is a lot of carbonation in each sip, but the finish is so acidic. The increased acidity almost makes it un palatable but the sweetness balances it out.
RCL (1084), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA May 19, 2008 A nice cider. Definitely on the drier side. Fairly tart, with light apple skin tannins. Nothing spectacular, but pretty drinkable. Alldaydrinker (462), Norwood, Massachusetts, USA May 13, 2008 Courtesy of emerica56, thanks buddy. Pours a pale yellow color with a small fizzy white head. Nose is mild, tart fruits, apple, pear, and salt. Initial taste is tart with apples dominating. Bitterness comes in the mid palate with a touch of salt. Finishing with a good tart balance and mildly dry. Overall it was pleasing and crisp, cant complain too much. Drink4Satan (479), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA May 13, 2008 Pours an ultra-pale sparkling colour with a minimal head that fizzles to a ring quickly. The nose has lambic-like notes and is percievably sugary. Muted notes of pear accompany the obvious tart apples. The flavour is sugary, slightly tart, and salty like a Berliner Weise. Notes of acetic acid appear mid-palate and the finish is dry, salty and spicy. The palate is sharp and dry with a mild warming in the finish. BitchesBrew (699), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Jan 5, 2008 [750ml bottle] Crystal clear pale gold color, with some tiny white bubbles. Interesting aroma-- sweet/tart apples, some slight musty character. Flavors are clean, crisp. Some slight wild element to the finish. Very dry. Drinks very easily, with no evidence of the alcohol content. Mild carbonation, just enough. Overall, this is quite good.
