3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20(3.41 decilitre bottle from Hillside Liquor) Not sure if I’ve had a cyser before. This tastes like a cross between a dry British cider and a Quebecois ice cider. Good in small amounts, I think it would get cloying if I had the whole bottle.

Small plastic bottle. Deep golden colour. Aroma is quite spicy, lightly herbal and apple. Flavour is sweet, cnnamon, honey, apple, with a dry medicinal finish.

Plastic bottle from Brewery Creek
Deep blond color, with some lonely bubble. Light apple juice aroma, with light acidity, and no honey. Semi-sweet strong cider, with a lean body, and a kind of sweetness that can be due to the honey more than the apples, but the flavor doesn’t go beyond the apple. Simple.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Barnyardy, fermenting apples
Golden sparkly
Almond, honey
Fullbody, sparkly mf
Light cherrylike aftertaste
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very fizzy gold with a white head. Aroma is strong honey and red apples, cinnamon. Taste is very sweet with an apple accent, light spiciness. Simple but very good. Body is silky.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
355 ml bottle courtesy Capflu. Slightly hazy bright golden colour with a light but quickly diminishing sparkle. Honey, apple, cinnamon, spice, caramel, and floral aroma with just a touch of alcohol. Spiced honey and apple blend of flavours with an almost “hot” cinnamon finish. Full bodied, smooth, with just enough carbonation to keep it from being syrupy. Not sure how this ranks in the world of cysers, but a pleasant sweet sipper nonetheless.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sweet, light apple and honey aroma with strong alcohol notes. Pours a very light yellow, nearly white. No visible froth or head. Tastes of light apple and present honey. At no point is this ever bitter or sour. A bit bland. Body is thin and low in carbonation, not too exciting. Overall, a pleasant cider, my first at ratebeer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hazy, alarmingly luminous yellow colour. Fresh apple aroma with light nutmeg and clover or alfalfa honey. Sweet, sugary apple notes with a little spice. Refreshing, with very little evident alcohol and a much softer character than the Scrumpy.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at GCBF. Colour was nice honey yellow with a slight greenish tinge. Smells like honey...but with a light floralishness. (good word, huh?) Tastes very sweet, but tart apple flavour scrubs any unpleasant sweetness off the tongue. Yummy crabapple finish. Surprisingly light and refreshing, aided by high carb. Woody aftertaste. A bit of a carbonic acid bite. Nice. Worth another go round.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Draught) Sampled at the Merridale Cidery. Thin, white head with a slightly clouded yellow-green tinge. Nose is acidic and sweet. Very sweet in flavour with a mellow wateriness. Good.
