12 ounce can from the AVL downtown location, 7/31/23. Clear gold, thin wisp of a head. Aroma of dry and earth apple, floral notes (tea I presume). Taste is tart and dry apple, tea, floral. Delicate. Nice.

Single can from the AVL taproom. Local place doesn't break up too many 4-packs. Pint glass @home. Dusty pale gold, gluggy pour flattens out real quick. Sour, sweet vinegar, lime, astringent scent. Not quite getting the Jasmine yet. Upfront very sharp twang, but it dies back into this earthy cider with a matcha & rose-like aftertaste. Lingering sour plum. Just a few drops of vinegar. Their last Jasmine cider was way more pronounced, but this is easier to finish. Might have two. Dusty/yeasty/gloopy, spritzy, feels a level stronger than the 6.9abv list. Okay.
