After having a lot of beers lately, I felt like mixing it up and cracking open one of my ciders. On second thought, I probably should have went with Foxbarrel since I have more quantities there, but I'm not going to complain too much about going with its first cousin.
I poured the cider into a snifter glass. No head, retention, lacing to speak of. Poured a champagne like color with some light golden hues added in. Cloudy and unfiltered, the bottle encourages to tilt and swirl prior to the pour. Aromas of..guess what..apples! A little bit of yeast is also picked up, but the whole point of the cider is that it is cider in it's near purest form, without a whole bunch of additives and different flavors.
It's not Woodchuck sweet. Mild sweetness, which I'm growing to prefer more and more. Slightly dry, felt like I was drinking a cider crossed with a white wine. Light boozy finish at the end. I'm sure the various flavors are nice, but sometimes it's great to have cider in its purest form. I know this isn't the "purest" form, but it's pretty close, and it's pretty good.
