Commercial Description:
Golden, bubbly, with subtle sweetness and more intensity and complexity than Farmhouse. Smells of a delicious array of fruits, with mysterious aromatic notes that defy words. Flavor offers a life-enhancing, appetite-sharpening balance of sweetness, acid, astringency, and fruitiness. Alcohol content 7.4% by volume. Available in 750 ml bottle with full cork closure

Crystal golden color. Aroma has some apples and grape skin with a touch of acidity. Flavor is sweet, dry and apple skins. A little bubbly, nice finish, hints of sweet and sour and finishes dry.

Bottle. Pours a light gold with a thin, fizzy head. Mild aroma of apples. Flavor is crisp and tart, with a nicely balanced apple flavor that is sweet but not sugary. Light in body and well-carbonated, this beer is refreshing and sharp. Finish is dry with a lasting flavor of earth and apples. Overall a high-quality cider.

Draft. Pours a pale yellow body with a thin sparkling head. Tart appleish body with a light acidic tartness about it. Some hints of honey and dry apple skins akin to the subtle tart dry finish. A nice cider.

Bottle. Aroma quite acidic, maybe vaguely fruity, but mostly just acidic for me. Flavor has more apple, extremely tart, in addition to the expected acidity, and the apparently-expected astringency (was unaware this was an appropriate note in ciders.) Seemed more than semi-dry to me, but clearly I don’t know my ciders. And I also clearly didn’t much care for this one.

Bottle. Pours a pale yellow with a very fizzy and carbonated head. Aroma of sweet fruits (apple and cherry), sweettart candies, and some slight barnyard funk actually. Flavor of tart apples, less sour than the aroma. The apple really comes out as the beer warms. Tart, acidic, and prickly mouthfeel. This is only my 2nd cider so I’m not sure where it’s place is within the ciders, but I liked it! 7/4/7/4/15 (3.7/5)

Nice, very lightly sweet cider. This is a very food friendly, classic style cider. Good acidity. Well balanced. Solid

Bottle. Poured a clear golden body. Aroma is tart apples, oak and wood. Flavor is bitter sweet blend of apples, oak and earth. Mouthfeel is a tad thin.
