Drank 11 of these before I noticed my local was out & FOMO got me to write some notes down. We got a few four packs direct from Shacksbury before these dropped in stores April 2021. So this one has mellowed a tad. Pint glass @home. Most of these drank better straight out the can btw. Purty, clear amber, very lux & meringue head for a cider. Smells of sticky pine, oatmeal, viney weeds, asphalt, buttered toast, old apple sauce. Hops provide an odd, dirty, bitter veggy note, over a dark, macerated subtle apple & corn husk sweetness. When fresh, this was borderline sour hops & onion sweetness. Straight from the can, it's halfway onion, but the carbonation flushes it down so well. The finish slips away, but leaves some residue. It's bitter, but not dry enough to eagerly invite you back. Carbonation falls flat very fast outside the can. Booze hits a little too hard. Hopped a little too aggressively. Hops melted into onion juice too fast. Straight aluminum is frothy & smooth. I enjoyed this with a little age on it, but never in the glass. Meh.

Can from Crafted. Orange pour only light bubbles. Nose is tart apple and some floral hops. Tastes of white grape, peach, crab apple, florals. Quite dry. Fairly still and some funk.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clearish straw gold color with a finger of white foam that dissipates quickly. Lots of passion fruit and lemon lime aromas in the nose with some notes of mineral and apple as it warms. More of the same on the palate. Lower carbonation, smooth. Lingering lime zest and passionfruit on the finish.
