2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Light yellow with white dissipating head. Someone said rubbery and I have to agree. Tart and sour. Clean finish.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle - sterling TWM - pours a pale gold with tiny bubbles. aroma is light apples. Taste is light. Kind of bland.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Dry apple aroma, funky, a bit too much on the rubber side for me. Crystal clear, very pale yellow, some carbonation. Very dry, with the same rubbery quality, lightly tart, not quite medicinal, but very phenolic. The story on the label is fascinating, but this cider is too dry for my tastes. I’m guessing this is an acquired taste that I haven’t yet acquired. This cider cider is helping me get it.
4.2 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
750 ml bottle courtesy of Linda (thanks!), shared with Shukhrat from Uzbekistan. Crystal clear gold, hi carbonation. Aroma has intense fruit, plus apple skins and lemon peel. Taste has a barely sweet start, then turns slightly tart, then finishes very dry. Very nice fruit flavor, and very refreshing. Probably the best American cider I have had - reminds me of my time exploring Normandy and Brittany.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
750mL Bottle poured at CiderDays 2010. This was probably one of the better non-New England ciders for the evening, in my opinion. Big floral fresh apple fruit aroma. The flavors stayed fresh and in the dessert fruit realm, with a some shaved apple and reduced apple skin, but then lots of bright tart structure to balance out off-dry sweetness. The flavor continued in floral. A really enjoyable example.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Aroma wine-like with soft alcohol notes amidst yellow apples and pears, a hint of marzipan. Flavor is lightly sweet with sweet apples. Tasty stuff.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle courtesy of dkachur in the Mystery Swap. Pours a clear and very pale light straw yellow with a thin white head. Big soft vanilla and a little bit of apple. A touch of ascorbic acid on the finish along with some odd tart note.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle thanks to dkachur. Pours an extremely pale yellow; it’s almost the color of a white wine with a small ring of head and lively carbonation. Aroma of sour apple, and white grapes (it actually smells like white wine too). Flavor of tart sour apple up front that slowly mellows in the mouth. Quite drinkable with a light palate. Interesting cider!

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light yellow, active champagne like bubbles. some barnyard aroma, mostly apple skin. wet dog, briefly gummy and sweet, finishes pretty dry. light bodied throughout, I’m left torn over this
