Four pack of tall boys from Appalachian. This place is toast. Another covid casualty(or maybe they were just very meh?). Stemless wine glass @home. Gray & ominous outside. Stay in & drink. Clear, bright, dark yellow gold. Heady, hollow pour. Smells of honey, bitter apples, baby powder, hot fermentables & minerally sparkling wine. Quite strong first impression. Sharp, moderately tart but very bitter & green apples. Soapy/flower-y. Clean sugar sweetness, white wine, lemon, high acid, very boozy. Texture is pretty thin, but can be sticky. Carbonation is forced/harsh & cleansing. Already said it was boozy for the middling abv. Not mind blowing, but way better than expected. Tasted like an actual cider & not a FlatRock alcopop. There was potential here. Cheers.
