Overpriced bottle from Appalachian Vinter. $2 cheap at Whole Foods of all places, c'mon. Mojito glass @home. Hazy, mostly still, pale gold. Not too much to look at. Smell is bitter, pine, earth, juniper/gin botanicals, mint. Quite good. Juniper, sweet pine. Upfront gets quickly drowned out by by a mass of messy yeast. Carrot & red apple sweetness, pepper, solidly tart, earthy mess. Lingering pepper. Mellow, prickly carbonation, thick slurry of yeast flavor even though it's settled, warming ABV. Bursts of flavor, but sloppy.
