Bottle from their cider club. Tasty Beverage thin pint glass @home. Voluminous pale pink head, odd pink on purple cloudy body. More like lilac in color actually. Smell is roasted grapes, sour apple, vinegar, grape bubblegum. Taste is earthy, sour, deep, middling tannic, concord-like grapes mashed with very tart & wild apples. Sour vinegar middle, iodine, glue, tiny itty bitty bit of funk, super sharp & sour finish. I really think the grapes propped this one up. They've made better hybrids, but this combo makes a good team. Sparkly, irritating carbonation that is inconsistent & drops off. Thick slurry of yeast, thin actual body, borderline amount of vinegar. Very acidic, boozy for only 7.6%. Okay.
