My Feedback:

Quite aromatic with a nose of bitter peaches and tea. The color is translucent light gold. It is fairly sharp on the tongue with a lot of subtlety in the flavor. There is a tangy Granny Smith apple vibe, and I don’t know how they did it but they delivered on the promise of a banana. This has a fair amount of lip-smacking tartness in the middle, but not over the top, and ends with a very understated aftertaste that’s a pleasure. It is a very balanced cider that both dry and sweet cider drinkers will love. It has a medium-bodied lightness common in Haykin’s ciders, and this particular cider is pretty magnificent. Thomas Jefferson, a lover of Newtown Pippin’s, would have been proud of this cider. Even though these particular apples weren’t picked at his Monticello, they were grown on land he got on the cheap from France.
