750 from Monument in Concord, CA. Pours orange tinged gold with white bubbles. Aroma of baked apples. Near medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is baked apple skins with astringency. It is very dry. So dry it seems oaky. Very quaffable cider. Somewhat complicated as time moves on.

Bottle courtesy of EDA. Pale straw colour. The aroma is nice. Quite a pronounced tartness. Soft appley nose with a distict Jolly Rancher fruitiness. Flavour is crisp and tart. It’s fairly simple, but it’s good.

750mL bottle from The Trappist, no date. Clear golden with a small bubbly white head (despite an aggressive pour) low retention. Lots of ripe (but tart)apples up front with some honey notes. Only a hint of oak is present. Oak is more present in the flavor, though still not dominant. The aroma was actually fairly sweet, whereas the flavor had almost no sweetness. Dry finish with a little bit of lemony tartness, alcohol masked completely. Light carbonation with a surprisingly light body. Pretty good cider.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours a clear, golden hue with no head.
Aroma is of apples, whiskey, and some peaches.
Flavor - same as aroma basically.
Light, syrupy mouthfeel with light carbonation.
Pretty Darn Good!!
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very little head on a golden body. Apple aroma. Flavors of apple juice, a touch of wood, and dry, dry, dry. Tart and clean, worked nicely with Thanksgiving dinner. Carbonation dissipated rapidly leaving a mostly still glass.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
clear, still-looking bronze apple juice. Nose of simple apple-juice and maybe a pinch of nutmeg. Very dry apple flavors..almost too dry. I’m not getting any complexity...no wood, no funk, no yeast, nothing but dry apple flavors. I like the fact that’s not sweet though.. I would say it was clean, but it tastes a bit oxidized.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Golden-yellow colour. Light sparkle and some legs. Fresh apple nose with a little bit of skin and spice. Tart, almost leathery with fresh apple. Complex yet drinkable and clean. Solid cider.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light amber/gold no head. Aroma is macintosh apples, oak, vanilla, cinnamon. Taste is also macintosh apples, slight acidity, light oakiness, has some of the natural wild yeasts sneeking through.
