Came back to a 3/4ths bottle after a week & it was drier & better in all aspects. 3.7 to 4.0 Bottle from their cider club. Everything is shipped, I sure as hell can't give the effort. Glass mug @home. Clear, pale amber. Basic, but heady. Smokey, sticky, caramelized apple nose. Liberty I can now pick out thanks to their constant chatter about it. Not my fav. Crispy, more smokey apple, macerated, sweaty, old sweetness, bittersweet. Soft tartness, mellow but building acidity. Tart & fun Krys apples they put in everything now. Leafy, lingering, yeasty, green bitterness. More heft, little sharpness in this one. Complicated. Bold.
