 Sledge Jr (2708), Omaha, Nebraska, USA
May 29, 2008 In the bottle from 99 bottles WA. When you swirl it up (and why wouldn’t you?) you get an almost white looking pale yellow with a quickly dying poofy white head. Incredible bready and cidery apple scent that produces some rich fruity esters. From the fruity scent, I had expected a big apple sweetness, but BEHOLD this is an intensely dry and super tart cider. I loved it because it tastes exactly like homebrew cider. To hell with these candy-assed filtered alco-pops. This is cider in its purest form: parching and puckering. I think that if more ciders were like this, many fans of flemmish sours would gravitate to them.

May 6, 2008 12-oz bottle from 99 Bottles in Federal Way, Wash. Smells like granny smith apples. Super tart and drying apples. One of my favorite ciders, but definitely not a sessionable cider due to the extreme tartness.

Aug 7, 2005 Bottle. Hazy yellow colored. No real head formation. Pleasant apple aroma with a noticeable hint of alcohol. Semi-dry, well carbonated. Pleasant and easy to drink. Plenty of tart apple flavor remains. Decent.
