Bottle from their last & very abrupt cider club shipment. Wine glass @home. Slightly hazy, glowing pale gold, faintly soda brew. Nose is heavy clay, fusels, trash & savory bitter melon. Taste is a compact mess of yeast, white grape skins & earth. Mostly clean initially, with a sharp delivery. Mellow melon, lime, trash, pickled veggies, white wine, yeasty remnants. Homebrew-esque is a bad label, but it is so very iffy & experimental. Cake-y, yeasty, well carbed, brutal acidity, good feel on the abv, lackadaisical show of it all. Not there yet. Sad they quit.
