JK (2411), Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Jun 15, 2008 Less intense than the brut. There is apple in the aroma, but it is not as sweet or strong. The flavor is just a little bit sweeter than the brut, but this is still a dry cider.
General_Gao (2509), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Sep 1, 2008 Bottle. Poured a clear golden color. Effervescent white head. Aroma was of alcohol, apple, and some funk. Slightly sweet, but drier than most ciders I’ve had. Very effervescent. I liked it better after letting it breathe a bit. Nice tart apple cider flavor with a bit of raw alcohol. badgerben (3074), Blaine, Minnesota, USA May 29, 2008 Thanks to Skyview! Light yellow color with a little fizzy head. Marshmallowy aroma and some lemon zest. Sweet apple taste. Some floral and a tart finish. Skyview (2851), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA May 28, 2008 Picked up a 750 ml bottle at Mars Cheese Castle near Kenosha, Wisconsin, just off of I-94. Pours a sparkling light golden straw cider with a thick and white bubbly fizz head that slowly dissipates to a fine white ring. Aroma of semi-dry apple cider, a touch of yeast, some light floral and herb/spice character. Taste is semi-dry, plenty of carbonation with flavors of semi-dry apple cider, a mild yeast presence with a touch of herbs and some wood. Finish is semi-dry and not too sweet as first thought but still has a light crisp dry apple aftertaste that slowly disappears.
