Bottle from their seasonal shipment. Wasn't keen on back to back to back russet ciders so we've taken our time & had a few weeks of palate cleansers. Mojito glass at home. Clear, bright, pale gold, very active. Light oak, rounded apricot, fumy hot nose. First sip is acidic & harsh. Super earthy. Floral, dried apricot, dried apple slices, sour & dried pineapple slices, all that sulfite dust at the bottom of the pouch. Majorly astringent, sharp, waxy, potent; bold. I love it for how big it is, but can't seem to just like it enough to casual sip it.
