Poured from 750mL bottle (2019 blend). Slightly hazed light orange with very quickly dissipating white head. Mild gamay skins and apple with champagne like carbonation, dry, decent. First sip had a touch of booze, but not so much on subsequent sips.

750ml @ Brian's. Appearance: a bit hazy golden with no head. Aroma: apples, grapes must. Taste: very dry, tannic, apple seeds, grapes, very carbonated. Overall: pretty good, but it's a bit too dry for me.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy orange amber with a large, rapidly dissipating white head. Nose is loaded with musty grape skins, bone dry apple skins, and some champagne-like effervescence. Flavour is bone dry, with crisp musty grape skins, some apple skins, and lots of champagne-like effervescence. The carbonation is exceedingly high -- one of the most carbonated ciders I've ever had, such that it perturbs the throat on the way down. The musty grape skins are really nice. The ABV isn't felt at all. Very interesting cider; enjoyable.

2019 edition, 750ml bottle, 12.3% ABV. Pours with wonderful foam, stormy carbonation that's beautiful, and a deep peachish pink body. There's earthy grape skin on the nose, burlapped apple, rustic candied twig. Flavour is deep and musty sweet apple, meaty tannins, bitter earthiness on the finish. Nice lingering grape skin, ABV invisible, excellent. This would go very well with a roast beef or lamb dish that could handle the mustiness and would benefit from the acidity to cut through fat. Even better it would be great with venison or elk.
