GarrettB	2.9 101 Cider House SoCal Scrumpy September 19th, 2015 - Not quite a beer, but to be noted all the same - tastes like a mild sip of apple cider vinegar, which is to say this is a screeching acidic drink with some throat clearing properties. Tuesday, October 1, 2019
r464	3.4 101 Cider House SoCal Scrumpy Wow, quite a hit of tartness to start that gradually fades. Fruity, punchy, lots of body. Not sweet, but the tartness keeps it from being dry, Friday, September 27, 2019
chrislee999	3.8 101 Cider House Purple Money Tuesday, April 9, 2019
blipp	3.5 101 Cider House Spring Street Spritz Can. Pours hazed pale yellow and fizzy. Tart apple skin and white wine grapes, a little citrus, moderate acidity, and a bright tart finish. Refreshing. Saturday, April 6, 2019

celtic4ever	0.8 101 Cider House Piña Menta Pours a greenish yellow, nose is funky and very sour. Taste is sour and finishes unpleasantly bitter, like orange juice that's gone bad. The worst cider type drink I've ever had. Sunday, March 4, 2018
celtic4ever	0.5 101 Cider House SoCal Scrumpy This "raw" cider went bad in the bottle. 3/4 of it spewed out all over my kitchen when I opened it, and the smell was vomit inducing. There is a reason that pasteurization was invented and is the norm in the beverage industry. Nasty stuff, stay away from this brewery. Sunday, March 4, 2018
Mikljon	5 101 Cider House Cactus Red Sunday, February 25, 2018
BuckeyeBoy	3.7 101 Cider House Island Hopper 22oz bottle thanks to Eric. Pours out a dish water color topped with a fizzy white head. Nose is passion fruit notes lemon guava some sour tart funk and cider. Taste is more of the nice tart pucker tropical fruit notes. Saturday, January 13, 2018
bhensonb	3.9 101 Cider House Sour Grapes Tap at Cap Hop. Pours hazy deep rosé with a very slight white smear. Aroma is rather sour red grape. Med body or so. Flavor is moderately sour, rather woody, red grapes - more cab than Concord for sure. The sour moderates with time, and an actual cider aspect becomes detectable. I tend to fear 101 ciders, but this isn’t all that dangerous. Making me think cider and sour can work together. Tuesday, January 9, 2018
bhensonb	3.7 101 Cider House Forgotten Port Tap at Cap Hop. Pours sort of champagne blush. Light sourish aroma. Med body. Flavor is mildly sour, maybe a bit tart. Clearly somewhat musty wood and fruit notes that are surely red grape. I vote for port barrels being involved. The sour/tart mellows away nicely. Good stuff. Saturday, December 23, 2017
Johnsense	3.2 101 Cider House Black Dog Ugly blackish pour, lighter carbonation. Aroma of lavender, spices, apple, slight lactic sourness. Blood orange, apple, lavender, light charcoal taste. Lighter body. It's not too bad once you get past the appearance. I'd kinda like a gingered version. Tuesday, November 21, 2017
matthewjk	2.5 101 Cider House Island Hopper Picked it up just to try something new. That was a mistake. Friends at 101, this is not good stuff. I'm sorry, but it takes like sour laundry--aroma is nearly as bad. Way to high on the sour meter. I want to say fun to try, but it wasn't! Damn expensive to! Will not be re-buying. 22oz bottle from Sprouts. Sunday, November 19, 2017
thorongil2	3.4 101 Cider House Purple Money (Cask) hazy lavender colour with a small white head; aroma of sourness; medium sour flavour with a long medium sour finish Friday, October 20, 2017
Oakes	3.8 101 Cider House Island Hopper Cloudy and quite pale. Big hop nose, some phenol funk. Tart, hoppy, light apples. Intense, but I’m a fan. Saturday, August 26, 2017
Blairgus	3.1 101 Cider House Black Dog 16 July 2017, tap. Light, hazy orange. Nose is an herb, maybe thyme, and mint. Thin bottle and moderately fizzy. Moderately sweet, dry thyme, maybe hints of mint, mild bitter grass. Ok Sunday, July 16, 2017
bhensonb	3.5 101 Cider House Mosaic Perry Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours perry color with a few bubbles. Aroma is perry with some fruits. Med minus body. Flavor is dry, tart, fruitily hoppy. Certainly drinkable. A bit acetic. Wednesday, June 28, 2017
bhensonb	3.3 101 Cider House Black Dog Bomber from Cap Tap. Pours rather gray, seem to be small charcoal particles in suspension. Odd (to me) slightly sourish smell. Med minus body. Flavor is slightly sourish, and apparently somewhat lavender. There’s a taste vaguely reminiscent of a charcoal tablet. Kind of weird, think lavender is the main flavor. Very dry finish. Interesting adventure in ciderdom. Saturday, June 24, 2017
dnstone	3.8 101 Cider House Mosaic Perry Pours a hazed golden yellow. Funky barn house aroma. Fairly tart with a light vinegar edge and finish. Notes: on tap at Mikkeller LA, June ’17 Saturday, June 10, 2017

Bacterial	3.7 101 Cider House Cactus Red Hot, radioactive pink pour with no head. Cool nose, pear and apple. Very interesting taste, lactic acid and a bit of acetic and malic acid too. Interesting. Thursday, October 6, 2016
Zeswaft	3.4 101 Cider House SoCal Scrumpy Tap. Murkey pale gold color. Aroma of funk and vinegar. Flavor is salty, oaky, sour, funky, minimally apple. Finishes dry. Sunday, August 21, 2016
bytemesis	3.7 101 Cider House Cactus Red Bottle. Pours hazy pale pink-peach, small off-white head, dissipates quickly, nice enough lacing. Pretty enough color, but not not what is described in the description by a long shot. Aroma is prickly pears, apples, and some musty funk. Flavor is pretty dry, light tart, lightly funky, apples, prickly pear, again some mustiness. Light body, fairly high carbonation. Definitely unusual. Thursday, June 9, 2016

karajane	5 101 Cider House Black Dog Saturday, June 4, 2016
ffbot	4.2 101 Cider House Piña Menta Pour is a unfiltered chunky yellow-brown (but in a good way). Smell is nice, some sweet pineapple, some abstract cider and a good clean smell. Taste is nice, ooooh, very nice. The mint and the pineapple are mellow yet pronounced, the cider is also still there too. Great balance. Quite refreshing Thursday, April 7, 2016
SirLimpsalot	3.7 101 Cider House Cactus Red @ zeitgeist 16-3-5: En rätt udda cider med tydliga toner av gurkspad. Mycket syrlig och udda men rätt frisk och god. Sunday, March 6, 2016

daknole	4.2 101 Cider House Cactus Red Hazed pink color, they red grapefruit color. Of the 3 ciders I tried from theses guys this was probably the best one. The Thai basil is wonderful. Agave is understated. Tart apples, light hints of lemons, finished tart and lightly dry. Fun! Monday, February 1, 2016
daknole	4 101 Cider House Piña Menta Pours a color that looks like coconut water. Very tart. The pineapple is prominent. Not a lot of Apple flavors, the mint is light on the finish. Quite tart and unique as hell. Monday, February 1, 2016
daknole	4.1 101 Cider House Black Dog Purple/grey color. Pretty cool damn cider! Tart up front, the apples are pronounced as expected. Lavender is light and the charcoal adds a stone/light minerality. Very unique and very drinkable. Finishes lightly dry and tart. Monday, February 1, 2016

Scottatron	5 101 Cider House Cactus Red Monday, November 23, 2015
jercraigs	3.5 101 Cider House SoCal Scrumpy 2015-10-25. Murky/milky yellow body, headless, is a bit strange to look at really. Flavour is sweet up front, tart accents and fruity apple notes. Aroma is lightly acetic, fruity with notes of apple and other fruit. Smooth average plus body, low carbonation. Dregs of the cask I think but still tasty. 7/3/7/3/14-15 Cask Days 2015, Toronto. Sunday, November 1, 2015
ffbot	4.1 101 Cider House Cactus Red Awesome! Orange and yellowish, very light carbonation. Apples and alcohol are in the nose, unidentifiable other smells I’m going to say are the cactus and agave. Suuuuper dry taste which I love! Monday, October 26, 2015
