375mL undated bottle from warm shelf, drunk 4/14/23. Clear, pale-brass/blonde with little/no head. Cidery nose with still a trace of the fruit. Light and very much in the background but still imparting juicy aromatics. Bit of nutty rye with gentle lactic acidity lingering. Very clean. Soft, rye-heavy with a bone-dry character and yet still an appropriate texture. Maybe a hint of metallic yeast from the long, warm rest. Faint fruitiness and quite low on the acidity, though it's still pretty much ample. Spritzy, bottle conditioned carbonation is thoroughly excellent and really makes the experience, leaving it quenching and refreshing.

375 mL bottle from Toski-Sands Market, 9/5/21. Hazy yellow, some big-ass chunks, but not too many. Medium fizzy white head, fair retention. Aroma of lemon, pineapple, bready malt. Taste is bright lemon, pale doughy malt. Some mild bitterness and hints of tropical fruit. Juicy, bright. Nice, but not very kvassy.
