Aug 26, 2009 Bottle courtesy of EDA. Pale straw colour. The aroma is nice. Quite a pronounced tartness. Soft appley nose with a distict Jolly Rancher fruitiness. Flavour is crisp and tart. It’s fairly simple, but it’s good.

May 9, 2009 750mL bottle from The Trappist, no date. Clear golden with a small bubbly white head (despite an aggressive pour) low retention. Lots of ripe (but tart)apples up front with some honey notes. Only a hint of oak is present. Oak is more present in the flavor, though still not dominant. The aroma was actually fairly sweet, whereas the flavor had almost no sweetness. Dry finish with a little bit of lemony tartness, alcohol masked completely. Light carbonation with a surprisingly light body. Pretty good cider.

Nov 28, 2008 Very little head on a golden body. Apple aroma. Flavors of apple juice, a touch of wood, and dry, dry, dry. Tart and clean, worked nicely with Thanksgiving dinner. Carbonation dissipated rapidly leaving a mostly still glass.

Aug 10, 2008 clear, still-looking bronze apple juice. Nose of simple apple-juice and maybe a pinch of nutmeg. Very dry apple flavors..almost too dry. I’m not getting any complexity...no wood, no funk, no yeast, nothing but dry apple flavors. I like the fact that’s not sweet though.. I would say it was clean, but it tastes a bit oxidized.
