Tap @ The Station. Hazed gold appearance. Nice natural wild air, subtle tannin, fleshy apple, skin with a very dry close. Decent.
Clear pour. Thin head. Apple flavor but very dry. Dry palate. Apple finish with funk. Moderate carbonation

Four packie from Whole Paycheck. Cheaper than Appalachian. Well shit... Stemless wine glass @home. Looks like a flat n hazy ipa. Honey orange & uniformly murky. No big sulfur bomb this time. Earthy yeast slurry, apple pomace, dust, stale pepper, something starting to rot in the background. Clay, chalk, ground up apple skins & core, yeast cake, white grape must, hay. Lingering pith. Sand, can you recall what sand tastes like? Just before it completely dries out, you get hit with a random tropical fruit note, like papaya. I feel like this is reminiscent of drinking a cloudy sake. Strong acid, okay tartness, thick yeast milkshake. Mellow alcohol. This sat on the cold porch for weeks & doesn't want to settle. Different approach to being dry. Just a little messy. Okay & almost good.

Nice to be back in cider country. Seemed a nice festiv drink for Christmas Eve. Fairly bright yellow. Nose is rich apple pie more than expected. Tastes of pie filling, lots of white grape, some Riesling, and grass. Tart and funky finish.

Pours clear straw into a shaker. White head quickly recedes to nothing. Apple pie aromas. Soft with sharp, tart apple and mild funk upfront turning to a dry, lasting apple skin finish.
