(750ml 2019 bottle from the cidery - this blend is cider, perry on De Chaunac skins and hot sumac tea) Pours lightly hazed copper-to-red with a brief head of white bubbls. Aroma is sweet, fruity and tangy with a fascinating note that is reminiscent of ketchup (but in a good way!) that I think is a blend of the sumac and sweet perry with a soft vinegar twang and red grape, tart apples, difficult to describe but really excellent. Flavour is moderate sweet pear, floral Gala-type apples, tart vinegar-inflected sumac, solid chewy tannins, red fruit blend, lactic acidic smoothess seems to provide the bulk of acidity despite the vineagr sumac notes, mineral into the finish with quite some drydown from the apple skin and grape pomace tannins into the aftertaste. Light to medium body with sparkling effervesence. One of the most interesting Revel bottles I've had in a while; the way in which the sumac lends vinegar flavour without much aceitc acidity is really cool.

A pinkish cider with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet apples, light Brett, light lactic notes, very nice and smooth. In mouth, a nice sweet yet tart pink apple with light acidity, light mineral notes, light lactic points, very nice. On tap at Lupulus.
