Bottle from the club. A week or so settling in the fridge, since Shacksbury ships some of the bottles upside down. Lots of yeast in the neck to shake loose, paper labels get all torn up, occasional leakage, always an adventure. The cans they ship though, in awesomely secure & innovative, minimalist boxes. Slurped @home in a stemless wine glass. Dark, peachy yellow, still faintly jellied brew. Yeast, cream, wild flowers, apple cider vinegar, wet leaves. Taste at first was very much Sidra. It seemed like it just needed to breathe some. Subdued wild notes give way to a very yeasty/baked still fermenting scrumpy character. It's still juicy sweet, with good acid, but subdued tartness. Light plastic. Lingering leafy bitterness & a smaller vinegar footprint that dries out till there's just intense apple-y acid left in your throat. Carbonation is very meek, almost as if the bottles aren't ready. Chewy, despite the yeast drop, ABV seems on point. Not crazy about it, but it drinks fresh.
