Coerced in buying this very retail-priced bottle at the tap room, despite my reservations for the house flavor. Mojito glass @home. Hazy, spritzy, murky gold pour. Scent is quite macerated, brown, leafy earth, with the bittiest bit of vinegar starting to develop. Taste is shockingly not house, at least not yet. Bittersweet apple forward, numbing grapefruit pith, lime, good amount of sharp to contrast, medium strength salinity, earthy finish with just a bit of tbd vinegar that the house flavor always develops. Good medium & consistent bubbly, medium high acidity, medium acidity, dry popsicle stick finish, just a bit sweeter than I'd like. A good result of using actual cider apples, but this is pretty fresh & hasn't yet turned.
