Profile: Ripe and juicy, Made Marion unites Northwest apples with whole locally grown Marionberries. 2 Towns really branched out with this one, making something that won’t be a crowd pleaser, but will be truly appreciated by those who enjoy these types of uniquely crafted ciders.Only fresh-pressed northwest apples. Most Similar to: Finnriver Barrel Berry Sour from Port Townsend WA (although less sour) and WildCraft berry ciders from Eugene OR (all their ciders have a slight sourness although most aren’t advertised as sours).Ĭlosing Notes: If you love sour & farmhouse-style cider, Belgian-style lambic beer, etc, and can find this special release, give it a try. We opened a lot of ciders and this was one of the few that actually got finished. They are all sour cider lovers, especially berry sour ciders, and loved this one. I knew going into it that I needed some backup, so I had three cider friends over. And thats ok…not everyone likes every cider. My Opinion: I’m not a sour cider fan, so no surprise, I wasn’t a fan of this cider. However, the sourness is more at the front of the palate than a typical sour cider where the sourness hits further back. A balance of moderate tartness, acidity, and sourness. Smells of blackberries, red wine, oak, sourness, and funk. We take pride in producing true Northwest craft cider.įirst Impression: Red wine hue. As a family-owned company, we are committed to the growth of our team and enrichment of our communities. We never add any sugar, concentrates or artificial flavors, and instead use slow, cold fermentation methods to allow the fruit to speak for itself. Starting with the highest quality whole ingredients from local farms, we take no shortcuts in crafting our ciders. We named this cider after the berry to pay homage to the Flemish ciders of Belgium, and echo wild lambic beers like framboise and cassis.”Ĭidery Description: At 2 Towns Ciderhouse we believe that the long history of cidermaking demands respect and deserves to be done right. “This cider is for the more adventurous cider drinker who dabbles in wild ales, sour beers and farmhouse or Asturian-style ciders,” said Dave Takush, head cider maker at 2 Towns Ciderhouse. ![]() La Mûre is aged in local Pinot Noir barrels with lactobacillus for over a year, resulting in a strong backbone, light oak flavors and a wild lactic tang.

Meanwhile, the Yoon government has responded angrily to statements made last week by Beijing’s ambassador to South Korea criticizing, among other things, the Seoul government’s tilt toward Washington. The Thomas fire has burned more than 1000sq km - an area greater than New York City, Brussels and Paris combined. With the war in Ukraine showcasing the value of network-controlled guided weapons, analysts say North Korea is feeling growing pressure to get a spy satellite into orbit. South Korea and China have both deployed naval vessels to the southern area of the Yellow Sea to retrieve parts of a North Korean rocket and its reconnaissance satellite payload after the May 31 crash. Thursday’s tit-for-tat is hardly unusual, but in the wake of a failed May 31 North Korean satellite launch and a nasty diplomatic spat between China and South Korea, the latest missile tests further roil already stormy regional waters. “Our army strongly denounces the provocative and irresponsible moves of the puppet military authorities escalating the military tension in the region,” the ministry said in a statement reported by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency. and South Korea should expect the “inevitable” response in light of this week’s drills.

These logger annotations are easily demonstrated in the following Groovy code snippets. A Log4j logger is injected with the annotation, an Apache Commons Logging logger is injected with the annotation, and an SLF4J logger is injected with the annotation. Just as the annotation injects a logger, there are different annotations that do the same thing for the other three previously mentioned logging frameworks.

The annotation is used to inject a logger. Each AST does more than simply inject the logger each also automatically wraps all calls to logging methods with checks for the logging level being set sufficiently to log at that level. The annotation is different for each of these logging frameworks, but the effect is the same: each injects the respective logger into the annotated class accessible by a "log" variable name handle. Groovy 1.8 provides AST Transformations for annotation-based logged injection for four of the most popular Java logging frameworks: the standard, Log4j, Apache Commons Logging, and Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J). ![]() I focus on one of these new features, logger injection via new AST Transformations, in this post.

When used in conjunction with Sea Legs, Aquatic Form travels at 450% of normal swim speed.As is usual when swimming, the druid cannot drink or eat in this form.Your caster form will start regaining mana 5 seconds after you change to Aquatic Form.You are also considered a Beast so spells that target Beasts can be used on you ( Hibernate for instance). While in Aquatic Form, you cannot cast spells or talk to NPCs.They can breathe with a buff and their skills aren't restricted like the aquatic form druid's are. Be slightly wary of warlocks underwater.However, without Glyph of Aquatic Form you are still slower than a hunter's pet underwater. It is a useful technique for escaping PvP opponents, as few can equal the Sea lion's swim speed and few can hold their breath long enough to catch you. Use this whenever you go into the water.The form can also be exceptionally useful for druids with the Herbalism tradeskill, as it allows more rapid harvesting of the herb, which is valuable on many servers. ![]() The speed bonus means that it can serve as a fast form of travel if a given destination can be reached via water, and the greater presence of rivers in Alliance territory means it also gives Horde druids venturing into that area numerous opportunities for concealment, reconnaissance, and rapid escape. Outside of combat, however, it has a large number of potential uses. The downside of this form is that it has no defensive capabilities whatsoever, meaning that in a combat situation its only use is for escape. Thus, the net effect of this form is to allow you to move at 100% normal running speed in water. Take note that this 50% increase is of the 66.6% base swim speed, hence giving a 33.3% bonus. Also known as a sea lion, it can only be used while swimming, but can travel normal running speed in water and will not run out of breath (water breathing).
