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.

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.

Mar 16, 2005 Pours out nicely into a champagne flute with a nice fluffy head that quickly breaks down. Very tarte.

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.
