May 14, 2007 Pretty straightforward, tasty cider. It pours a very pale yellow body that’s filled with fast moving bubbles. Its small fizzy head lasts but moments. It smells of fresh tart apples with just a hint of sulfur. Full of tart apple flavor, there’s an almost citric sour quality to the dry finish. Refreshing. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=166> Discount Liquor, Milwaukee, WI<font size=-1>

May 1, 2007 Light yellow straw color with a taller fizzy, diminishing white head. Fresh bread yeast aromas which gain some barnyard scents as it warms along with white grapes and apple peels. Heavier in feel, but with enough zip to keep it lively. Sweet golden delicious apple and a touch lime juice. Simple flavors, but balance and quite drinkable. Not the normal soda cider here in N.A.

Sep 19, 2004 Head is initially small, fizzy, white, fully diminishing. Body is clear LIGHT yellow. Aroma is lightly yeasty (barnyard, horseblanket), with a note of apple. Flavor is heavily sweet, moderately acidic. Finish is moderately sweet, moderately acidic. Medium body, watery texture, fizzy/lively carbonation. Like the Dry, a good example of better English ciders; there are ones with much more rustic or unique character, but these are a great introduction to what good ciders are like.

Nov 5, 2005 Very pale yellow body with hardly any head on top. The aroma is fresh Jonathon and MacIntosh apples. There is a hint of some vineous character and a little bit of caramel. The taste has apple core along with some watered down lemon juice tarness. There is also a hit of black pepper in the finish. This makes my mouth pucker. This makes me wonder how the extra dry hits palate. I really like this as a change of pace. Recieved in a trade with Larry Pitonka.

Jan 15, 2007 Bottle. Poured light pale color with a minimall head that diminished quickly with minimal lacing. Light sweet apple aroma. Light body with a thin texture and soft carbonation. Flavor of tart apple with a light sweet finish of short duration. Went well with my soup and salad.
