It’s weird looking. It looks like a really good quality chicken stock. I also just dropped my glasses into it. It’s super fruity on the nose, like strawberries and cream popsicles or smoothies. It has a honeydew melon-like flavour, thick, sweet and pulpy. Fresh and tropical. It’s quite an exciting drink but a little sweet. I am trying all of their ciders side-by-side here and I’m actually having a whale of a time. They are fabulously varied and unlike anything else I’ve tried.

Bottle shared with my lovely wife. Pours a clear yellow to straw colored gold. Super sweet and bright on the nose, crisp and tangy. Medium bodied, sweet and a bit more cloying than I’d like based on the gorgeous nose. A touch of citric acid, subtle apple. Crisp, vibrant, but still a touch sweet. Dries out and moves into a very effervescent finish with a very faint touch of yeast and apple skins.

Sampled at Texas Beerfest. Pours A cloudy yellow with small frothy white head. The aroma is a strong apple and yeast. Thin mouthfeel with a crisp apple flavor and honey with a nice refreshing clean finish. Easy to drink a very good Cider from Crispin.

a bit more doughy in aroma than the others, sourdough, fresh grassy orchard air aromas. slightly sweeter, good clear apple tartness in the finish.

Bomber. Pours hazy highly carbonated off-gold color with little head. Nose is earthy apple, honey. Tastes of apple, earthy notes, honey, crisp finish, rather light palate with a lot of carbonation. Not bas as a cider, but not up to the great eisciders like La Face and Etienne Dupont, and doesn’t merit a huge score in the RB scoring system.

This is my first cider. It has a hazy amber color with a mild fruit aroma. Taste has some apples and honey. There is a mild tart but finishes with some sweetness. I would have it again.

Not usually huge into ciders, but this one was surprisingly enjoyable. Not over the top like so many are.

This is a go-to brew for my friend Lindsey, she was kind enough to pour me a small glass from her 22oz bottle over spring break. She says it’s best enjoyed with ice, but I didn’t add any to mine. Hazy pale yellow lemonade-like color, minimal white head. Really nice, smoother light carbonation. Nice, tart sweet taste. Some honey and apple aroma, a nice combo. A great cider, easy to drink... Pretty good.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle. The color is cloudy pale yellow as an unfiltered cider should be. Aromas of fruit prevail when pouring. Flavors of apple are prevelant and yeasty notes with just a touch of sweetness are present. This cider is full bodied with a clean finish. This is not a bad cider at all.

Smooth. Hits a little up front and then a nice smooth sweet finish with the tartness of the apple and sweetness from the honey. My wife, who is a non-drinker, absolutely loves this.

Wonderful tart clean apple aroma with a very slight funk. Cloudy light yellow appearance with medium carbonation. Smooth flavor of apple with a nice sweetness from the honey. One of the best ciders I have had. Very pleasent and drinkable.
