Bottle from their bottle club. Bigger batch vs last year, but last year had a bunch of variable weather. Sorry I can't find a vintage bottle in the basement to compare.
Pint glass at home with the sorry saps in chats.
Clear & crispy, medium gold, quick soda head.
Earthy, buttery, celery, somewhat savory, orange honey, cooked down bittersweet nose.
Bitter, herbal, hyper veggie, sweet rind, burnt onion, plastic, lingering floral, Play-Doh.
Crispy, fizzy, baked, great texture. Russets have most of what you need out of a good cider but have this overall veggie note you can't shake.
Good+.

Bottle from their summer cider club. Couple weeks between the basement & the fridge. Mojito glass at home. Clear, bright, medium gold fizzy soda head with a little activity. Raw oak & macerated browned fruit, browned sugary apple nose, mud, rubbing alcohol. Golden Russets already have a natural oakiness of sorts. Taste is bitter & numbing citrus pith, lemon acid, honey off-sweet, green tea/slight veg, minerally & boozy good champagne with a moderate-low tannic finish. Slick, off-sweet, abrasive & constant bubbles, a little hot but welcome. Very good.
