Bottle from their summer bottle club. Who ships in the summer? These guys. Fridge sleep for a week before pouring into a low-ball glass.
Classy amber, on the orange side.
Leafy, sharp, oily, boozy hot, cooked apple spirits.
Upfront taste is caramel & bright acid. Acidy, thin, popsicle stick tannins, lemon iced tea, rose water, long sharp, lots of oak & dried herbage. A touch of heat but there's a wall of sweet n savory that just keeps it all from getting out of control.
Being still just makes it feel so much more potent.
Really like ya but do I love ya?

New 2019 batch from the cidery. 8.5% ABV. Mojito glass @home. A bit lighter & duller in color then their usual macerated apple visual. Still acceptably, brown. Faint berry, woody/fall leaves, watery whiskey nose. Taste is lime, sour strawberry, popsicle stick, stone, accidentally biting into apple seed astringency. Maybe a touch of cream at the end? Could just be texture. Not as horribly bitter & unruly as older batches. Fruitier, less astringent, not as potent/hot despite the ABV change. More accessible/drinkable & reminds me a little of what Albee Hill use to be. Good.
