22 ounce bottle from Winooski Beverage in Winooski, VT (May 2008), served just above fridge temperature from a Chouffe tulip. Very slight fizzy head dies quickly, some bubble action continues in the pale faintly cloudy gold body for a while....nose is nice, very fresh apple juice, hint of tartness, but little complexity or farmhouse character....and body is more or less the same, much sweeter than a traditional English or French-style cider, if more "real" tasting than the typical Woodchuck soda versions....towards the finish there are hints of alcohol and some interesting mineralic notes, but overall this is simple and unsophisticated and only a slight step above those ciders sold in 6-packs that it seems to be trying to distance itself from.

Oct 7, 2008 From a bottle. Incredibly pale pour, no head, very clear. Very sweet in both flavor and aroma, with some clean, cheap apple. No complexity or yeast to speak of... just cheap, filtered and fermented apple juice. The worst cider I’ve had by far.

Oct 6, 2008 Very rich and sweet cider. Full bodied and lush. Immediate and fresh apple flavors fill the mouth. Slightly tarter finish. And definite notes of alcohol, like any well-made cider. Very good. Goes superbly with sweet & spicy roast pork and vegetables on egg noodles.

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle. Hazy gold with floaties mixed throughout. Only random surface bubbles and no real head to speak of. Aroma is sweet, ripened apples, some sugary notes followed by light tart apple and apple skins. Taste is very sweet almost like a kids apple juice. Light apple skin flavors and ripe apples. Surprisingly this is very sweet and rather uncarbonated, unlike most ciders. Body is light and rather still. Very sticky sweet. Finishes with a bit of a bite. Some signs that it is at least fermented. More sweet apples, apple skins, light green apples and a bit of sugary sweetness.
