Very clean and apple flavors, tart and clean. Sweet and tart balanced.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Far Land in P-Town. Light flowery aroma, green apple. High carbonation. Very dry and well attenuated. Has some musty, earthy, cellar flavors on the finish. Hints of dark honey. Complex for a cider.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
22oz Bottle poured at CiderDays 2012. Strong "rosey" honey aroma. Very floral and citrus-y. Flavor picks this up again and carries a lot of vinous honey and fruit through. I love the flavors that are coming through, but this really tastes more like cyser than cider.
4.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Light, crispy, refreshing. Delicious apple flavor. Very bubbly with consistent bubbles rising throughout the whole glass. Similar mouthfeel to a brut, but with a lighter crispness. Appearance like a light ginger ale. One of my favorites, 6% ABV.
3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUN 14, 2012 Bottle from Charles St. Liquors.
Poured into an Ommegang chalice. Clear, pale ginger ale body. Constant slow stream of bubbles.
Yeast & sulfites seem way out in front. Is it too cold? Faint scent of apple sauce in the background.
Crisp, with an interesting bitter sweet blend. Tastes almost like cherry pits. Semi-tart & rounded meat. A hint of caramel(the honey?). No mention of what kind of apples they used. Finish is a bit citrusy(lemon-lime-ish) & softly sweet.
Better then Crispin’s honey laced cider, but the aroma was really stuffed up in this bottle.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours pale green-tinged yellow into a shaker. Bright white head fizzes to hug rim. Granny smith aromas. Crisp and dry with sweet honey and sour apple upfront turning to a lasting lactic finish.
