Pours a nice blush from a can. Big floral fruity aroma, strawberry seems artificial, like gum or something, but the basil is interesting, nice apple undertone. Flavor is quite sweet, despite the description as off-dry. Again, strawberry is a little too forward and overstated, but the basil is a nice addition and adds some needed complexity, which saves the cider. Overall, quite sweet and fruity, but interesting basil addition. Good cider.

Draught at Bukowski’s Tavern, 3/4/16.
Crystal clear brass-colored cider with light carbonation visible.
Sweet strawberry and honeycrisp apples in the nose with light vanilla and caramel accents. Basil not strong in the nose with no alcohol noted.
Tastes like sweet tarts up front and through the middle, very medicinal and artificial, with basil coming in on the end. The basil is nice. The rest of the cider is not. Rather sweet, with no alcohol and low, loose carbonation. If this was more dry and the strawberry tasted real, they could be on to something.
