COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Pale gold, bubbly, seriously dry. Richly aromatic, suggesting myriad fruits of the earth, and the earth itself, with a complex, palate-cleansing balance of fruitiness, astringency, and acid. Alcohol content 7.5% by volume. Full cork closure, 750 ml. bottle. Delicious with many foods, much as the driest champagne can be.

750 ml bottle. Pours a very pretty clear gold with a bit of a spritz and a very thin head that evaporates almost immediately. Pleasant aroma of apples along with a bit of yeast. The flavor is apple, crisp and flavorful, along with a bit of yeast. Very dry and clean at the finish. I’ll use the word again, crisp. The carbonation is just enough to accentuate without being prickly on the palate. Quite good.

Bottle. Pours a hazed gold with a thin white head. Big soft apple aromas on the nose. Smooth with a nice body, delicate carbonation and a bit of acid. Dries out quickly and picks up a bit of sulfites. Light sweetness, tart, soft acid. Fairly nice, if not overwhelmingly memorable in many ways.

TODAY’S SPECIAL at rattle and hum nyc. tart fruity a bit slick with a bit of salt in the sugary mix. nice deep enough clear apple juice color and aroma. hell what do i know about cider. seems ok enough. it has a nice dry mid palate and finishes slowly as the dryness fades away.

Golden pour with a fizzy head. Aroma is apple, funk, some earthiness. Flavor is relatively clean, apple, lightly tart with some nice acidity. Bone dry finish. Tasty

750 ml bottle. Clear golden yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma of apple, musty earthy funk and wood. The flavor is tart apples, light suger sweetness and a earthy sourness. Light body with sparkling carbonation and a dry, clean, refreshing finish. This is my type of cider, very dry and has a sour funk going on as well, in a really nice way.

750mL Bottle. Tart, tangy light puckery apple nose. Pours a brilliant clear gold, with minimal head. Flavors are complex, if a bit elusive. Super, super dry, very clean finish. There’s a faint hint of lambic-like sourness and yeasty complexity. Super-crisp. I think I’d take an edge more sweetness for balance, but really this has a refined, maturity that reminds me most of good Spanish Cava. Elegant.
