(Draught) Samples at OSheas in Saskatoon. Nicely tart. Very similar to Grande Tentation. Linguring bitterness. I very much like this cider.

Thanks to my friend visiting from Alberta I got a taste of this beverage. Golden yellow with a bubbly effervescence. Full of typical okanagan apple tartness of course with pleasant bitterness and a touch of yeast. There’s a candy-like feel about it but it doesn’t show up until the drink warms over some time. Bubbles floweth! Good good cider and an impressive feat from BIG ROCK!@$!

This is a very good cider that goes down smoothly and can be drunken with just about anything. I highly recommend it. It has a light yellow diamond color with a nonexistant head, but it has a great taste, very fresh and very refreshing.

Bubbly yellow beer-like looking beverage. Big White bubbles quickly disapear leaving a ring of froth. Very strong apple aroma. Sweet candy apple taste which is appropriate I guess. Kind of soda popish with a trace of yeast.

Yow, this one had some tang and a pleasing astringent finish where so many others woulda been sweet to the core...no pun intended. Very drinkable.

I don’t have much experience with ciders, but I figured I’d give one a try. This one had a nice mineral-like quality to it, with very little carbonation. I’d drink it again.

Bittersweet appleskin aroma is quite appealing. Brilliantly clear pale golden body is topped by a fizzy white head that recedes instantly to the slightest ring. Fairly dry and tart apple flavour is straightforward and enjoyable, if somewhat short-lived. Medium carbonation to the dry, light body. Stem glass. Fridge temperature. Can (Brewery Creek, Jul-07).

2009-11-28. Very pale yellow body, headless. Aroma is mild, light musty touches with tart apple notes. Flavour is similar, light acidity and tart apple notes, mild fruity sweetness in the core, apples. Average palate. Just a tad light overall it leaves an impression of having been brewed stronger and diluted. I have no idea if that was the case here but it leaves that impression. Pleasant, average mainstream cider. On tap at Clinton’s, Toronto
