More recent batch made in collaboration with Simon Day & available via the 2020 cider club. Coming in at 6.5%, head looking nice & fluffy over a clearly pale amber in my slender pint glass. Stem-y, bitter, almost minty scent. Some mild cheese as it warms. Bitter acidic leaves & apples, becoming more of a bitter orange rind, expressing a juicy Sweet Tart berry flavor as it closes on a not completely dry finish. Very faint yeast note as the second pour clouds up & doubles up on the berry flavor. With warmth brings some mild funk. I enjoyed it more cold. Not too thin, leftover yeasties give it some body. Very full carbonation with small bubbles, but not champagne bubbles. Boozy. Tasty & very expressive for a single varietal. Somewhat rare combo in my experience.
