JB175 (1654), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bottle from jjpm74 - thanks! This one has a pretty golden color with less carbonation than expected. Nice fresh apple aroma with some light woodiness and a hint of booze (tasty booze). Flavor is of sweet apples, caramel candies, some pleasant tartness and acidity. Full bodied, but no hint of 11%. Tasty, worthwhile cider that I would gladly seek more of. footbalm (1218), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Jan 4, 2007 Have had this for a while now and it must not have aged well as it was pretty lousy. More soured apple and bordering acridness then good flavors. Cletus (5001), Connecticut, USA Mar 16, 2005 Pours out nicely into a champagne flute with a nice fluffy head that quickly breaks down. Very tarte. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA Jan 19, 2004 Gorgeous cobalt-blue 750 ml corked/caged bottle. White plastic cork. Peachy pink-amber, little fizziness. Moderately sweet nose. Flavor sweet but peppery-alcoholic and with some nice biting tartness all the way through. Much better balanced than the other Putney I had a few nights ago, though I think at this point I have to say that perhaps the high ABV shines through a bit too obviously in both of them.
