cider

This is dave White’s Blue Cap Cider, I believe he told me it was a Jonah Gold Blend (or was that Single Origin Jonah Gold). Update: Turns out this batch of cider is a blend of Jonathon and Golden.

Once again nicely done Dave! Very clear, almost zero sediment in the bottle.

Notes: Opened and Consumed on 05/12/2008

  • Aroma: A little yeasty (not unpleasant, just more so than the Red Cap Blend), and that of crisp light apples; delicate.
  • Flavor: Yeasty, lime, apple crisp, dry with an underlying sweetsness (not so much sweet as the idea of sweet), crisp and clean.
  • Overall Thoughts: I need more than 12 oz. Refreshing. Nothing bad, the Yeasty flavors not unpleasent, and may pass with little more age in the bottle. Better than most commercial “hard” ciders. The predominant flavor I remember back on is the Lime! Simple, or rather not complex. dig it!

A nice finish to a long day.

Thanks for sharing Dave.

back Online… Tasting Dave White’s Cyder

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Been offline for a few weeks now, sick and tired, workin’ way to much, but first thing… before I forget…

Dave White! Your Cyder was fabulous! (Oly Blend Red Cap)

Dave White's Cyder...

Tasting Notes: grapefruit (maybe grapefruit zest even), clean and dry, honeydew mellon, light, crisp, acidity light, touch of tannis in the front but quickly passing. white grape, and apple (could not put my tounge on what apple, delicate and elusive). Refreshing, one bottle left me wanting more… great backyard summer day beverage.

Thanks Dave. (I opened this bottle on 04.22.2008)

…the color was great too. Clean, not much sediment at the bottom of the bottle either.
