Bottle at home, picked up from Yards & Crafts online, 05/06/22. Light golden yellow with a decent white cap ... the final pour gives to a deeper golden orange hue with some floaty / sediment friends offered. Nose is dusty apples, caramel, hop presence, citric tinged straw, grass, herb, trace of green berry funk. Taste comprises apple orchard, light spice, toffee apple, sage, hedgerow, twist of lime, dusty hop spattering. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, light drying close. Tasty stuff.

Clear pale yellow cider, no head. Aroma: wow, very herbal, lots of thyme, sour apples, weird, a bit chemical, some phenols. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: sourish start, very acidic, thyme, a bit chemical, some fruits, floral notes. Aftertaste: spicy, floral, weird, more soapy, acidic, very sourish, pizza herbs, meh, don’t like.

Tart, rokerig, geur is niet best. Nasmaak ook niet, te rokerig.
