Style searching. Almost clear cider, sake like. Fairly flat. Nose is funky cheese, green apple, white wine and some piney hops. Tastes cheesy, fleshy mushy apple, wine, baby diaper. One of funkiest ciders I’ve had. Dry palate.

Draught at Bit Bar, Salem, 1/13/18.
Mostly clear, very pale, white gold.
Smells of mushy-sweet apple and light Brett with minimal hop, though it is slightly noticeable, contributing very minor tropical fruit and light pine-like notes.
In the mouth it's got some mushy sugar, lightly tart Brett acidity that doesn't balance nearly enough with light baby diaper on the very end. Hmmmmmm.....

Pours an amazing clear pale straw from a can, seems to glow from within. Great pine aroma melds well with crisp apple. Flavor is another very good marriage of piney, tropical hops and a nice semi-dry cider. Thin in the mouth but not too thin or acidic, or hoppy. Very well-balanced. Very good cider.
