3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very nice golden color,small head that faded quickly leaving little behind.Nice apple aroma maybe sweet and maybe tart.I'm getting a little waft of each.The flavor was apple of course with a nice ripe apple sweetness to it,sweet as well but not overly so and just plain damn good.The alcohol doesn't really make an appearance at all.This is a much better cider then some of us Americans can make.I've found ours to be to sweet or to tart for my liking but this one manages to give it all in just the right amounts.Well done and well worth getting.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bright sparkling golden body, poured with a medium head that quickly disappeared, some lacing. Sweet fresh apple aroma. Taste was crisp and sweet, obviously not as dry as this brewer's other offering. The sweet apple lingered for awhile at the end. Very good cider.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: JAN 6, 2004 For what is identified on the bottle as an English Draft Cider, this seemed rather strikingly similar to a French Normandy Cider. Its nose was light and clean. It poured clear to pale yellow with no head (which does make it different than most Normandies). Its taste was quite crisp, like fresh apples. Not particarly dry in the truist sense, but it did have a slightly lingering aftertaste. Overall not too bad. Thanks so much to edden for the wonderful trade for this cider.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pale golden body with a quickly dissipating white head. No lacing. The appearance reminds me of champagne.
Floral, earth and apples in the aroma. Some alcohol.
Sweet and green apple tart flavor. Some alcohol and a little yeast. Not bad.
Light-bodied with a lingering sweet finish. Very champagne-like mouthfeel.

UPDATED: OCT 24, 2003 10/20/03: bottle.
clean apple aroma with a touch of alcohol. pear colored body with a fair amount of activity. very clean apple taste with a modest amount of sweetness. for 6.8% ABV, the alcohol is well hidden.
