| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 17, 2008 Bottle @ redlight redlight. Pours hazy golden with a fizzy white head that fades to the edges quickly. Apples in many modes, a tart green apple along with a more caramel apple undernote, a little yeasty spice and some musty notes. Tart, apples, sweet, a little drying tannic note, and finishes a little musty. Nicely carbonated. BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 13, 2008 I thought this was absolutely horrid. I really wanted to like this but I much prefer the english dry ciders, but I wanted to give this a chance. I just could not get past all the phenolics. Too woody and vinous, with lots of vinegar aromas. Way too funky for my palate. redlight (1460), Winter Park, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 28, 2008 Apple skins come off the nose right away, fresh apples with a slight mustiness. Pours cloudy golden yellow with a thick white head at first that dissappears quickly. Very carbonated, tart apples, granny smith-like flavors, apple skins with a musty funky finish that is slightly dry. obguthr (1014), Poquoson, Virginia, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 1/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 26, 2008 2002: Apple aroma, slightly vinegary with some butter and clove. Opaque gold with lots of floaties. Musty with crisp apples and some chlorophenols. Slightly bready finish. Nicely tart but quite off. Once you acclimate yourself to the phenols, it’s not that bad. TanjaT (3), Kastrup, Denmark does not count | 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Apr 26, 2008 375 ml bottle. Year: 2005. Smells nice, but the taste does not at all live up to the aroma of appels. The taste is overwhelmed by yeast - not pleasant. AskForJenny (641), Ontario, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 24, 2008 750ml 2005 - Copper color, lightly fizzy, yeasty apple nose, maybe some cinnamon, mildly sweet apple on plate. Nice. cheeta (901), Langå, Denmark
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 21, 2008 Heavy yeasty aroma. Clear yellow body. Heavy acidic initial flavor. Medium palate. fredandboboflo (1404), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 10, 2008 Bottle 2002. First cider since I’ve been rating, even mentally. That said, nice tart, funky aroma. The flavor had a hint of what to me is old cheese (I do remember experiencing this in a cider ages ago, maybe it’s just me), but largely strong with tart and sour apple, a funky-spicy finish. End of the glass yields uber-sour apple, in a good way. Enjoyable drink.
