(from 75cL bottle @ home)
Travlr (30307) - No fixed abode, South Dakota, USA - NOV 13, 2015Bottle sample. Beautiful deep clear bright golden color, white edge head. Aroma of dusty fruit. Taste is fruity apple and lemon, long dry finish, late tartness. Tasty
alexsdad06 (16451) - West Chester, Ohio, USA - OCT 22, 2015Bottle shared by Jstax. Pours a hazy yellow golden color with a constant supply of bubbles. The aroma and flavor have sweet apples, some additional fruit, tart, musty, dry, some acidity, apple peel, this has more going on than most ciders.
auerbrau (3202) - Ithaca, New York, USA - OCT 21, 2015750mL Bottle. Thanks, Rob! Earthen clay, sulfur, and light banana nose. Hazy golden pour. Light sweetness up front, followed by some nice bursts of both astringency and acidity for balance. It’s got some wild funk to it, with a bit of cotton, some egginess, and lots of minerals. Balanced and rounded, vibrant, but maybe a little hairy on the fringes.
Tmoney99 (19268) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - OCT 5, 2015Bottle. Poured clear golden color with an average white head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Moderate to heavy aroma of green apple and yeast. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium complex sweet apple flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations were met.
phaleslu (14680) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - SEP 28, 2015750 ml bottle shared by JStax - thanks again, Jeremy! Pours a cloudy yellow color with a small white head that settles into a ring. Bright, lovely pear and apple, oak, a bit of earth. Light-bodied, with high carbonation and a crisp, effervescent mouthfeel and dry finish. Very nice cider.
shrubber85 (13675) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - SEP 27, 2015Bottle. Musty apple and straw aroma. Golden yellow. Sweet apple juice and lightly funky straw flavor. Very nice - pretty sweet for a extra brut cider though.
JStax (10651) - Devola/Marietta, Ohio, USA - SEP 27, 2015Bottle from lukaduke. Shared at cincifest. Verh bibbly pale gold with a white head. Good retention. The aroma has funky apple, must, some fruit. A bit of tartness and apple sweetness. Refreahing. Spritzy carbonation. Lighter mouthfeel.
DrSilverworm (11039) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - SEP 26, 2015@ phaleslu’s cinci tasting. Thanks to jstax for sharing. 75cl bottle. Bottom of the label says "CLECY ~ CALVADOS", not sure if that indicates this is aged in calvados barrel or what? Not a big barrel presence in the taste, it’s subtle if so. Mildly hazy golden orange color. Thin ring of bubbly white head. Lighter body. Nice, soft, effervescent moderate carbonation. Nice dry finish. Great apple, a definite touch of that calvados it seems, a nice oaky nuance to it, comes out more as I take more sips. Lighter to moderate sweet taste, mild bitter, nice dryness. A very pleasant, complex cider.
