Bottled. Cider is clear, medium gold. Carbo looks like shooting stars.<P> The aroma is strong Braeburn-like tart eating apple with a light note of barnyard and a trace note of something sweet and biscuity.<P> The flavor is moderately-to-heavily sweet, moderately bitter, lightly acidic with a long, moderately sweet, heavily bitter (squeeky on the palate), trace acidic finish.<P> The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.<P> The bitterness is a bit of a surprise. Can’t say I wouldn’t welcome the change-up, but it’s a bit much and ends up seeming a bit out of place. Otherwise, I like this very much.

Cheese and apple crackers with a spitzery palate. Taste throws the wheel of cheese into a disco full of bee bobs and hardcore slack jawed lady boys. Decent little beast!

Bottle. Poured light golden color with a small white head that diminished quickly with minimal lacing. Moderate tart apple aroma. Light body with a thin dry texture. Flavor of tart apple with a light sweet dry finish. My expectations were met.

bottle at the fort wayne tasting - Pours up dark golden with a very thin head. It has a mild aroma of tart apples. The flavor is straightforward apple tartness with a somewhat thin body and a dry finish. It’s not bad.

Bottle. Very small white head that quickly dissipated, no lacing, transparent, visible carbonation, and a golden hue. Nose was sweet, sour, somewhat acidic, tart, and apples. Flavor was sweet, sour, dry and apples. Bubbly, tingly and dry mouthfeel. Light body. Not impressed with this cider.

This bottled cider poured a small sized head of quickly diminsishing fine to medium sized clear colored bubbles that left behind a poor lacine on top of a orange colored typically carbonated transparent body. The aroma was different from most ciders in that it was dry and musty on top of the typical apple notes. The mouth feel was tingly from the start and diminishing iun the finish. The flavor was dry as was the aroma and contained a mild artificaial tasting apple flavor. Artificial because of the organic in the name? Hmmm.

From a 500 ml. shaped, embossed bottle with a best before date on cap, Apr.07. Poured a clear reddish golden with a small foamy white head that settled into a fine lacing, a good looking cider. Aromas of fresh apples and that squeezed cider vinegary. Proper carbonation for a cider, adds a nice briskness and a smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. Tastes of fresh pressed apples, a tad sour, a subtle earthy honey, a little sweet cider vinegary and a crisp apple finish. A nice and tasting cider, well worth trying.

Aroma - Not overwhelming in anything particularly. Had (what I would consider) a slightly flowery smell along with the obligatory apple smell. Nice and light. Appearance - moderately large head and a deep golden appearance. It’s actually quite pretty. Flavor - I enjoyed it. Lightly sweet kind of dry. Alittle above average but nothing to call home to mom about. Palate - Carbonated rather heavily.. Thought ciders werent supposed to be too carbonated? Otherwise it felt good in my mouth. Overall: all around a good cider. Not my personal favorite fermented beverage but I did enjoy it. May buy it again after I exausted a few more hard ciders.

Bottle. Pours a deep gold with no head. Plenty of carbonated bubble flowing through the beer. The aroma has hints of sweet and bitter apples. It initially reminded me of a sour ale. The flavor was a bit strange. Initially sweet, but then a touch of sour, that really did not go over well with me. Very little body or mouthfeel.

Bottle. Golden cider with a dull fruity aroma and a very refreshing and sweet flavour. Overall a nice sweet cider.
