Single from the AVL taproom. Grabbed the coolest label design, so it instantly gets +1 appearance. Pintglass @home. Spirited pour, slightly hazed light gold with a tint of something. Surprised it wasn't darker. Bitter apples, weeds, stems, melon, acetone. I can smell the house brand brand from a mile away. No cherries yet. Big punch of cherry tartness upfront trying to cover up a sour cider base(it almost wins). Slap of cider vinegar. Bittertart apple, pineapple juice. Big veg note in the middle. Interesting leafy bitter note to sort of clean things off. Just enough of a cherry taste or not nearly enough? I wanted more, but it did some good. Sharp above all else. Dusty leftover yeast. Prickly carbonation isn't quite up to snuff. ABV seems on point. Okay.
