pjdipes	3 Eaglemount Quince Mead Tuesday, April 7, 2015
udubdawg	3 Eaglemount Homestead Semi-Sweet Cider light yellow, good clarity. A few bubbles. Aroma and flavor have some raw and some musty apple notes, but both are surprisingly full of strawberry. Specifically a cooked berry; I it actually goes quite well - sweet strawberry with tart apple, and the impression feints towards tart but never manages to balance the sweetness. no tannin to speak of; with acidity only moderately low this one never quite manages to beg another sip. Seems to be oxidized, though that isn’t always a bad thing. Moderately enjoyable, and a good introduction. A high carbonation level might help sharpen that finish, up the acidity, or the addition of a small % of bittersweets or a touch of oak. Sum of its parts is not all it could be, but still a good effort. Tuesday, December 30, 2014

after4ever	3.7 Eaglemount Cyser Pours a crystal clear pale gold with no head or lace. Nice sweet red apple nose with light apple skin presence. Creamy medium body with light carb. Honey comes through in the mid palate, but still under a very predominant apple presence, all very light and dancing and mild. Together they create a quality almost like a shortbread cookie. Doesn’t seem, in words, like it would belong there, but it’s very appealing. Mild sweet apple finish. These guys really know how to make nice soft, subdued apple stuff (ciders, etc.). They’re probably not on the road to making anything really explosively flavorful as their calling card, but for a balanced, harmonious, and restrained presence, these guys nail it time after time.

after4ever	3.7 Eaglemount Homestead Sweet Cider 750, swingtop. Great crack and hiss on opening. Pours a crystal clear medium gold with a little ring of fizz and a fair burst of bubbles at the beginning. Nice tart, slightly funky nose. Truly that seemingly unpredictable complexity of fermented fruit, it gives you the sense that each batch might be a tiny little bit different. Nice acidic fruity sweetness to the nose. Rich tart apple and apple skin presence. Crisp light watery body with soft carb. A tiny little bit of pepper along with the fruit and sugar on the mid-palate, leading to a nice and surprisingly dry finish. Definitely a keeper. Sunday, February 27, 2011
