12oz single from New Beer Distros. Still not use to the texture of these wrapped can labels. They make an awful crunchy sound when empty. Pint glass pour. Body is the color of a concentrated cola. Black, with a reddish brown hue. A flat Guinness? Maybe too dark to call it that. Billowy purple head rises & falls from my pint glass. Smells of purple-flavored "drank", blueberry pancake syrup(you know the one that shows up this time of year), lemon, & some oh so faint apples trailing way behind. Taste is so much of grape Jolly Ranchers & apple/grape juice boxes. Syrupy, rich, oh so so sweet & candy tart. Prickly, dying carbonation. Medicinal on the finish. The Mike's Hard Lemonade version of this(if it exists) would be preferable.

Single from New Beer Distributors. Tulip pour. Foamy, clear, sparkly, more orange then pink-colored brew. Smell is soft, flowery, green, & mildly winey. Faint plastic/wax edge to it. Maybe my subconscious is looking for a cork somewhere on the side table. Crispy, super tannic, tart, dry, very wine-y fruit. This is a great combo. Dry apple body is the perfect platform for the added grape skins/essence/leftover garbage that winemakers throw out. Finish is iron-y, with a minerally mild white wine edge. Acid builds up now that I've been sipping for a bit. This comes in a six pack. Okay cider, but a great hybrid.

Single from New Beer Distributors. I'm usually opposed to ciders with extra fruit flavorings. Things like cherries & boysenberry can completely mask what you are really drinking. Apricot doesn't seem like it would play too harshly though. Maybe it'll add some extra tartness or faint color. Tulip pour. MGD body, almost. Maybe a single shade darker. Smell of dried apricots, potentially acidic apple juice & Lysol-laced booze. Taste is much better. Sweet yes, but double-y tart thanks to the apricots. Almost seems like it is indeed a preserved, dried fruit sweetness. Carbonic middle to front end. Apples come through on the back. Almost like Sweet Tarts; red delicious-like. Rich, but well cut by all the tartness & moderate acidity. More apricot as it warms, so drink it cold, less ye start having iffy childhood memories of trying to ingest potpourri. Faint yeast/chalk on the end, certainly dry. Fairly okay, but nothing crazy quaffable like we are always searing for.

Draft pour at Snallygaster 2017. Poured a clear, but ruby purple color with no real head to speak of. Some light tart notes, apple, dry apple and blueberry notes. This one was okay.
