Bottle sampled at Noog Four-0 5/31/08: Pours a mostly still bright golden bronze with a thin ring of white bubbles. Aroma of rich, sweet semi-tart green apples and light honey. Body starts slightly effervescent, semi-sweet and fruity with some sticky tartness before a slightly phenolic and more bitter, warming finish.

Pours a golden color with no head. Aroma is sweet, sugary, and apple. Flavor is sweet apple and a slight tart dry finish.

Noogfest ’08. The body was light gold. The aroma was strongly apples with some floral notes. There was also some peanuts. Very fruity, not dry like many ciders. The taste was light apples with some woody dry notes. There was also a little bit of perfume.

At Noogfest Four-O. Pours orange with fizzy off-white head. The aroma is sweet apples and a touch of sulfur. The flavor is more sulfury than nose with some sweetness and a cyanic finish. Good bubbly apple flavor throughout. Thanks to jjpm74 for sending the bottle to me.

Drinkability: 6/10
Score: *4

Appearance: Pours a clear, ornage-yellow body with a thin, bubbly head. Smell: Sweetish apple aroma blended with honey and wafts of harsh alcohol. This is no Strongbow, that’s for sure. Taste: Easy-going, sweet, freshly-peeled apple flavor is run down by a rather pronounced alcohol presence. Dried out honey taste. Pretty much the same till finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin, still body. Drinkability: I hope you like your ciders on the strong side.

This has a decidedly sweet, tingly, fresh cider flavor. Very nice. Honey. I really dug this cider.

thanks to whomever brought this to noogfest 08. Nice sparkly apple flavor.
