Can from New Beer Distributors. WTF happened?!?! Pint glass pour. Solid clear amber color. Airy, saline, minerally nose. Can’t tell if this is still with some secondary bubbles, or just half flat. I like it. Tastes is bittersweet & half sharp, like the skin off some sort of grape/berry/foreign fruit that I can’t quite place. Wood tannins & saline help straighten it out. Something sour near the end. Finish leans dry, but not completely. Unique flavor. Enjoyed it.

Crystal clear golden coloured body with a thin pure white head, only about a centimetre or so tall. Light apple and alcohol smell with some vinegar and grassy yeast along with a dose of pure caster sugar sweetness as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong appley and grassy flavour at first with a bigger dose of yeast, grain and perfumey yeast than anything else. Aftertaste shows some dry malt along with a good deal of white and apple cider vinegar along with the pure sweetness apple bite that is noticeable throughout. Overall, a nice and very dry cider that is easy-to-drink, yet shows a good deal of vinegar, yeast, grassy and of course - appley flavours throughout. Nice to sample, especially if you like ciders, as it seems to add another dimension to the typical cider (the vinegar and highly acidic pH flavours). I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from New Beer Distributors on 24-February-2018 for US$4,25 sampled on the train from New York to Washington on 26-February-2017 with my three kids!

Bottle - Sweet champagne like apple and a honey like note. Clear gold with almost no head. Sweet, sour and acidic with a light nice funk. Solid.
