Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Medium, musty, mature apple. Extra sweet.
Initial Taste: Medium bite. Single variety, crisp apple taste.
After Taste:  Becomes smooth quickly, Semi-long lingering aftertaste that is pretty mild.  More apple skin flavours than the flesh.  Candied apple finish.
On ice:  Cuts out the carbonation a lot, similar taste.

Additional Notes:  An east-coast offering, No Boats on Sunday has a very crisp, clean single-variety apple taste.  No frills, not commercial but not overly crafty.  No Boats on Sunday could be considered a very “down the middle” classic tasting cider.
