375ml bottle from Botanist AVL. Stemless wine glass @home. Spritzy, clear, dark gold. Minerally, leafy, lemon, soft herbs. Taste is bittersweet apples, some more acidic, some crab-ish. Lingering lime pith, sweet onion, soft herbs, super slight sweet, very minerally, vinegar, eventually leading to a semi-dry finish. Juicy, runny, medium to medium low carb, at least coarsely filtered, appropriate abv that doesn't hit harshly. I think this is the best non-adjunct straight cider I've ever had from Botanist.
