My Feedback:

Immediately this stands out with its deep gold color that looks incredible. There is a little bit of fermentation on the nose, but it’s warm, fruity and inviting. This is a really nice farmhouse cider that is smooth and incredibly approachable as it has a soft finish that is rare for these kinds of ciders. You get a slight farmhouse burn on the initial drag, then a brief middle note of nice tannic apple which is followed by a slow, subtle, finish that goes on forever. It has that simple apple essence (Similar to the Vulcain I reviewed recently) that is not in your face but is understated and even soothing. It almost has a calming effect. I don’t think this has the depth of character or complexity of the 2016 Taconic by Aaron Burr that I’ve had, but it is still spectacular in its simple apple essence.
