$13 clear medicine bottle from the Botanist AVL bar. 10% off for buying too many. Couldn't find it on their website. Always curious about mysterious one-offs. Is it cacao or cocao? Lo-ball at home right after having the Raspberries At Dawn. Way less spirited pour, same magenta body, clearer with a touch lest yeast. Damp, soggy apples, soap, unidentifiable berries, earth. Pretty close to the Dawn version. Taste is lightly tart apples plus, a bitter berry tartness, and an oily & earthy middle that I assume is the cacao. Not as much raspberry in this one. Soggy, browned apple flavor. Yeasty tart finish. Expected more intense raspberry here. Soft carbonation & it dies really quick. Gently acidity, coarsely filtered. Strong for the abv. No real backbone or intensity to carry a flat drink. Meh.
