Bottle shared with Jerc, Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and Mabel, courtesy of Jerc and Mabel. Light yellow, small white head/ Soft sparkling wine and apple aroma. Bad taste - tart apple with a weird sour vegetable characteristic. No thank you.

Aug 4, 2008 [1301-20080418] 750mL bottle. Champagne bubbliness aroma with a strange cardboard bread note. Clear, pale yellow body with long-lasting bubbly white bubbles. Starchy potato dry flavour with strange dry chocolate characteristics. Dry light body, very carbonated. Interesting, at first is weird, possibly good for New Year’s.

Apr 26, 2008 Bottle (750ml). Shared with blankboy, jerc, mabel, and tupalev - bottle courtesy of J&K. Bubbly gold pour with a quick-diminishing fizzy white head. Dry, slightly boozy aroma of golden delicious apple and slightly sour off-dry plonk. Dry taste, slightly musty, again mostly the cheap white wine and ripe golden apple. Crisp body, lightly acidic, nice carbonation (champagne-like) with a quick finish and a tart tongue-coating acidic residue. Just okay.

Apr 21, 2008 Bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, tupalev, jerc & mabel -- courtesy of jerc & mabel. Pours a clear bubbly pale gold with a large diminishing bubbly white head. Dry aroma of apples along with some sweetness and alcohol. Dry and acidic tart apple flavour along with some notes of wood and yeast. Mouthfeel is very carbonated. It’s well done but I didn’t much care for it.

Apr 18, 2008 2008-04-18. Pale bubbly yellow body with a small bubbly head that fades. Tart dry alcohol aroma. Light apples. Flavour is similarly dry, tart dry apples. Champagne like dryness, and palate; quite effervescent. Nice sparkling cider but its a bit dry overall. Bottle from the cidery in Kelowna.
