Clear bottle from their cider club while writing out Christmas cards to all of those we love, but maybe don't really want to visit much. Lo-ball glass @home. Dull gold body. Two months of settling & a few weeks of chill haven't done squat. Smells like botanical, infused apple cider vinegar with a touch of vanilla on the tail. Appalachian hippies love this shit. Hard citrus burn & tart apples dominate. Sour orange, lemon, salt, gum, yeasties, lingering orange oil. It all hides some of the robust vinegar that I'm getting a little tired of. Though this is the strongest orange-related infusion I can remember. Good carbonation, yeastatic, okay booze. Just okay. Maybe deserves a less bias revisit.
