Bottle from the club. Lowball @home. Clear, settled, amber gold, with an unusually thick & sturdy amount of lathery head that stuck around pour after pour. Mineral deposits left all along the bottle. Smell is an airy, macerated/browned subtle dusty sweetness. Nothing opens up as it warms. Tart & almost malic apples, sharp peach pit middle, sweet celery. Calcium, salt & lime sprinkled on newspaper finish. Boozier than 7%. A frothy, tart, whiskey sour of a cider. Very clean for a wild ferment. Good.

750ml bottle from Scrattings. 2019 Vintage. My #2000 apple cider rating. Sparkling golden colour, short-lived large white foamy head and aroma of tangy apple, citric, mellow funk, earthy. Taste is zingy sourish fleshy apple, then some vanilla, wood barrel, formic, and tangerine citric notes plus lactic salty hints, with lingering acidity and soft tannin. Slick mouthfeel, medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry zesty citric sour finish. Interesting, very drinkable.
