UPDATED: JUL 29, 2005 Re-rate, bottle purchased from the brewery/winery/cider house. Very light appearance. Big strong tart apple aroma and taste, balanced, sweet and very quaffable. Similar to the County Cider but with much more flavour. A fine effort.

4oz sample at Bon Appetit Ottawa. Seems like there may be some confusion between the county and regular version but I tried both and decided to rate the county one (larger plastic bottle) as it was much better - not very sweet, lots of apple, clear yellow and would be great on a hot day. There was a nice tartness, moderate carbonation and decent body, nice apple finish and very fresh.

Originally rated April 2007. This cider has a decent head, that is bigger than for most cider. Obviously, it does not last long and no lacing is left. Good active carbonation and colour is pale yellow. The nose reminds me of another popular cider, very identical. It might be Strongbow. Very refreshing mouthfeel, watery with a bit of a grab. Slight sourness in the taste, but overall, quite well balanced with a little dryness and not syrupy. Mild sweetness too and the simple apple flavour. Very nice light tasting cider with a nice 6.4% ABV.

Again, let me begin by singing the praises of CaptainFlurries, my neighbor to the north, for giving me chance to review this gem. Aroma was of stout, aged apples. Pour was a little darker than expected. Minimal bubbles. Flavor was somewha complex in that I could clearly tast late season apples as well as what I interpretted to be a hint of vanilla. Not overly seet, and had a crisp finish.

A clear light yellow cider, with a nice fragrant apple, lightly funked, quite nice. In mouth, a light sweetish apple with Epsom salts. Medium bodied. On tap at Wellington Gastropub, Sept. 30th, 2008. 6.50$ pint.

Didn’t like the smell - almost skunky, and like most ciders was a very pale yellow.
But a nice tart flavour that really tasted like apples. Not like many of the other ciders I’ve tried recently.
Very refreshing with a dry finish.

Bu sur place (échantillon: 2/5). Comme le premier (County Premium), il est de jaune pale. Son arome est plus sucré. Son goût est plus rafréchissant.
