muzzlehatch (4424), Burlington, Vermont, USA Apr 28, 2005 750 ml corked bottle shared with Capflu, Goldorak, beerbuzzmontreal, and DumDum at the Ciderwinder tasting in Ottawa. Unfiltered light golden, little fizzing or bubbling action...lovely nose of fresh tart apples, vanilla and a mite of oak...generally quite sweet, though never cloying, with sweet apple pie spiciness throughout, tart acidity coming in later, fairly low carbonation. Quite nice. beerbuzzmontreal (2674), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Apr 26, 2005 Pours a hazy yellow color with a lot of floaties. Very good aroma of tart apples and yeast. Excellent flavor of apples, vanilla and spices. Goldorak (422), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Apr 24, 2005 Tints of yellow and very cloudy. The bottle says unfiltered, and they are not kidding, because I had a massive deposit and a few floaties in my glass.
A bit musty at first, but after a second and thrid whiff, it was like the dessert cart came rolling by me, with freshly baked apple crumble, the vanilla of a crème brulée, and the freshness of a peach sorbet. Good round sweetness, cinnamon and a sharp zing finish. Carbonation is low and was all around easy to drink. Perhaps too cloying to drink gallons of it, but I’d gladly share with a few friends, just like Muzzlehatch did with us, and I thank him for it. CapFlu (3247), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Apr 24, 2005 (750ml bottle) Unfiltered. Cloudy, peachy juice colour with a sweet and tart nose/ Far sweeter flavour than the nose lets on. Mild cinnoman, peach and homemade apple pie and crust. Very good. Finish is a tad short. Many thanks to Muzzlehatch for supplying this Michigan gem. unclebleen (620), California, USA Oct 30, 2004 I think this is my first cider...and i liek it pretty well i think. looks pale and bubbly but no head to speak of. Aroma is apples basically with some mustiness. Flavor is tart apple juice with the alcohol being nonexistent. its hard to believe this has any alcohol at all. this is nicely refreshing.
