Bottle from their cider club. A bit of a sleep in the basement. Served as is on a particularly cold day. Pint glass @home. Clear, oily medium gold with a quick soda head. Fumy maceration, browned apples, tobacco, sweet grain & farm funk. Really pushy nose. Steel, more bittersharp than bittersweet, lingering earthy funk, pear floral, pith, vanilla & slight sweetness. Old cheese rind. Slightly mousey. Definitely more pear/quince in this year. Lightly sizzle, lingering sharpness, low tart but medium high acid, thin. Good+, but hard to pound back a bottle. Just when I felt Eve's has gotten too pedestrian.
