Jul 15, 2008 Bottle from iowaherkeye. Thanks Joey! Pours yellow golden with and off-white lace. Nose is crisp apples, earth, must and a champagen-like yeast. Flavor is full of more fruity apple flavor, with a slight earthy tartness and a bit of wood. Nice dry palate.

Jul 13, 2008 750mL bottle, sampled at the 1st Annual Shenandoah Beer Throwdown, courtesy of TURDFERGUSON. Thanks, Sam! Pours a clear, effervescent, medium-straw color; thin perimeter of sparkling bubbles. Good mustiness / yeastiness in the aroma; fresh, crisp apple character; not overly sweet. Medium mouthfeel: effervescent carbonation; solid, dry yeast character; decent apple presence, reasonably crisp; just a touch overripe; again, a good musty yeastiness. Light finish: lingering yeast, doughiness, light apples.

May 7, 2008 Gold with a dissapating white head. Aroma is apple, white wine, and honey with a heavy peach note. Taste is honey, red apples, white wine vinegar. Good stuff.

Apr 19, 2008 bottle from bockyhorsey by way of the pepsi challenge... pale gold straw colored with a very quickly disappearing white head. the carbonation actually jumps into my nose. smells like a cheap riesling... yeast, oxidized apples and a spicy kick. the flavor is the same... a bit too sweet with lots of real red apple. crisp dry finish. thin mouth feel with prickly carbonation.
