On tap @ Cardiff Giant. Wine glass pour. Bright, clear, deep golden body. Smell is fuming with sweet, tannic, intensely apple-y notes, almost as if it had been spiked with a little of their ice cider. Wet stone, white grapes, but mostly condensed apples. Awesome. Taste is snappy. Dry, but not bone. Served still. Super tart and acidic, big tannins and enough sugar to make me go back and forth. Can’t get enough of how sharp this can, while still maintaining enough of everything else. It burns going down, if that’s any indication. Ever slightly metallic. Alcohol is there, but it doesn’t interfere too much. Slight battle between bitter and sweet going down at the very end. Left me with puckery, yet sweet lips. Great. Best cider I’ve ever had from them.
