Bottle from the cidery direct. Several months in the basement, few months in the fridge door. Mojito glass @home. Clear, still, shiny, light amber color. Oak, a little innocent rot/stuffiness at first, mellow sweet like hibiscus, uplifting booze as I swish. Not a whole lot of boldness here. Taste is tart & citrusy like Krys, but it's not on the label. Almost orange-y, very sharp but with residual lemon oil sweetness, big acid, green strawberry, popsicle finish that doesn't linger too much. Slick, buttery texture really contrasts the bite nicely. Booze is close, better than last year, but not perfect. The complete randomness year to year really throws the legacy of this label out the window. Good this year.

750ml bottle from Pullo. Orange gold colour, afew short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of apple, fruity, caramel. Taste is tart, tangy, apple, fruity, baked apple pie hints, caramel, honey, peachy hints, some funk hints and acidity. Slick & oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, dry acidic finish. Well balanced, nicely drinkable.
