North By Northwest French Cider

Growler brought to RnH’s charity thing. Made me get up before Sunday... Poured into a baby snifter. Second half taken back home & finished off in a Ommegang flute. Washed out pale straw/cream soda color. Slight haze, wisp of head, & speckled lace. Smells a lot like a perry, but has a crisper Granny Smith edge. Noticeable caramel & a little Euro stuffiness as it spreads out. Taste is white grapes, lots of apple skin, & a little cotton candy. Yeasty & bready on the finish. Carbonation was just a bit prickly, struggling a little to hold the body up. Much better then I was expecting. Different is always good. Thanks Natalie. :)

Growler at RnH Drink for Charity. Thanks to everyone who brought great beer to this. Pure yellow. Aroma a little pissy. Nice tart apple flavor. Very refreshing. Ok, I was drunk already, but I remember liking this.

Growler shared by someone at "Drink for Charity" event at Rattle N Hum. Pale yellow/straw colour with a lot of haziness. Soft sweet apple with a noticible yeasty/bready component that is quite unusual in a cider. Sweet fruity notes with a lot of fresh apple and malic apple skin tartness. There isn’t a whole lot of tannic character but it’s fairly dry on the back. Nice simple cider. There is a bit of cinnamon.

Gorgeous looking NxNW growler at the “Drink for Charity” event at Rattle & Hum. Pours a hazy almost clear yellow with a thin white head. Green apple, vanilla, and caramel on the nose. Flavor is a little gummy with some more apple. Finishes with almost a touch of lager graininess, but mostly dry and yeasty.

Growler. Pours a pale yellow apple juice body with a thin lacing. Apple juice, pit an skins of apples, citrus and cinnamon spice with a hint of wine. Nice cider.

On draft at the brewhouse. This was on tap in place of their usual sour offerings. Light white wine color with a good amount of carbonation. Aromas of apples and butterscotch. Flavor is light with fresh golden apples and very little alcohol flavor. A very good, and light, cider. Possibly my favorite taste of my trip to the brewpub.
