750ml swing top bottle picked up at Argonaut earlier today - the label is a little simple, but I like the presentation in the swing tops - pours a medium amber - turbid, with a moderate, frothy lace - nose is pretty interesting - some mild wine and oak, quite a bit of earthy, musty, basement character, light sourness, dusty yeast and some sweet apple (though a bit too sweet, almost like candy apples) - carbonation is full, but soft and creamy in the mouth - flavor begins with a sharp, prickly acidity that lasts throughout the experience, as well as a pronounced metallic copper note - a touch of oak, vanillins - some band-aid/plastic phenols through the middle - a bit of sour, earthy apple - a bit grainy on the tail end - finishes with the same sharp acid and metallic note with which it began - pretty messy - this will definitely keep me from dropping another 11.50 for another one of their products - maybe if some else buys it.
