Last call. Can pour at UpCider. Clear, middling gold, thin 12oz mason jar. Floral, cactus, very grassy nose. Taste is tart green apples, sweet potent veg, cream, strong acid, rounded lime, maybe too much grass. Crispy, middling tartness, just okay-ish.

Slightly dry but incredibly smooth.

500ml bottle from Hop Burns & Black. Pours a generally clear gold with light mist, thin bubbly topping. No discernible aroma. Oily on the palate, relatively light with smooth, mellow fruity lime and feijoa accents. Medium sweet, accessible, mainstream fruit cider... not particularly exciting, but vaguely interesting to see what a feijoa tastes like.

Poured at Shelton Festival, hazy yellow with small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is floral, apple, pear, oak. Thin body, nice guave, apple skin, light oak, nice tartness, enjoyed this.

500ml bottle from Hops Burns & Black. Golden colour, no lasting head and aroma of juicy apple, caramel. Taste is tart apple with fruity feijoa, some zesty citrus and vanilla. Medium bodied, low carbonation, semi-dry sour finish. Nicely drinkable.
