Bottle from their cider club since they are too big time to sell at the local farmer's market anymore. Couple months of basement/fridge nap time. Duvel glass @home. Tiny bit of foam over; Uncharacteristic. Clear, typical pretty pale gold, re-fermented bubbly. Stinky sulfur, really stinky feet. It takes a long while to dissipate. This is also not typical. Fruity, potentially sugary, still fermenting. You really notice the residual sugar. It gives sort of a ghostly browned apple flavor to it. Otherwise, it's honestly bitter, good skin, tight bubbles, not really very minerally like other years. A bit sloppy & left my stomach a little rumble-y. Boozier than the year before, but not harsh. Just not super dry & aromatic, which is what you want out of this. Twas okay. We're picky these days. Will revisit.
