750 mL bottle from Beer Run. Pours a clear golden color with no head. Aroma of tart apples, floral notes, vanilla. The taste is tart apples, dry tannic notes and a bit of a smoky note. Medium bodied. Nice.

2010 batch. Pours clear and still with a golden hue. Some alcohol legs, but mild. Aromas are a bit sulfury and quite dry. Light to medium acidity, mild esters. Medium-dry apple, floral notes. Flavors are dry and sulfury, rich tannin, medium acidity and somewhat thin. A bit of a crackery note. Tannic, mild floral notes. Still.

Bottles @ Astor Wines & New Beer Distro. Bright, clear, yellow gold body. Smells of wet stone & biting, unripe apples. Yeasty white wine & lemon acidity. Still, thin, & a bit watery. Crisp apple peel & lots of acid on the first sip. Sharp. Sour green grapes. Solid amount of tartness, but it can’t keep up. Tannic, woodsy, yeasty finish. Pretty dry, but not quite. Forceful alcohol. Rindy aftertaste. Seems imbalanced to me. Would of enjoyed more residual sugar. Interesting, but not completely enjoyable.
