Bottle from Appalachian. Allagash tulip @ home. Dusty plum color, little to no head. Smells of flavored multivitamins, sour peach, brine. Taste is dilluted baby apple juice/grape juice, grape skins, sour pickle, very mild Sidra funk that wears on ya a tad. Carbonation is soft, almost lacking. Chalky, but otherwise thin feel. Not the best texture here. Not my idea of a quaffer, but the abv is low enough. A bit sub-par.

Bottle from Tasty Beverage. Mojito glass. Pale, opaque, lightly spritzed, dusty straw color. Bit of a yeasty stinkbug upon opening. Once settled, it's a yeasty mash of zest, sidra & soap. Taste is lemon-lime zest, acidic apples, creamy yeast. Tequila I do not individually identify, but it could possibly be more of the same. Apples are lost in this, or just indifferent to begin with. Carbonation is low, but the bubbles are perky. Meh.

Bottle from Tasty Beverage in Asheville. Duvel glass. Tried letting it settle for a few months in the fridge, but it still poured out a classy hazy honey gold with a faint ring of white. Smells of major creamsicle, yeasties & definite macerated strawberries, with a little tartness. Taste is white wine & green strawberries. Tart peach pith & a little macerated strawberry sweetness. Bitter, somewhat Tannic apples. Leftover yeasties on the finish. Thin & intentionally flat, wife thinks it would be way better sparkling & I think I agree. Still good to have a rare well done strawberry bottle of anything.

Clear 375ml bottle from Tasty Beverage in Asheville. Duvel tulip. Deep, vibrant, clear gold, still pour. Baby got legs. Smells of softly macerated apple & apricot, alongside very quiet alcohol. Maybe a little Chardonnay butter. Viscous, but surprisingly mellow in alcohol. Quiet, macerated, dark, aged, but not quite all oxidized apple flesh flavor. Tiny bit of lemon acidity. Bourbon comes through as it warms, but isn't intense. Very smooth & the lemon was a smart addition. This is entering apertif territory.

Tasty Beverage Co. tulip while admiring the local wildlife. Vinegar & hibiscus nose. Tangy, tasty subtle grape skin. Mellow to moderate carbonation. Bittersweet background apples. Floral hibiscus. Pith. Sweet n sour, iron finish. Little bit of a yeasty, w/ pulp sort of body. Not one for hibiscus ciders, but this ended up being really good.

Bottle from Tasty Beverage in Asheville. Bottle cap just sort of fell off as the opener was trying to get a grip on it... Cloudy, yellow brew in my Duvel glass. Looks still to me. Smell is soft on apples, big on creamy yeast. Tart & satisfyingly bitter upfront. Slightly sour, turning juicy with a very obvious pineapple note. Minor barnyard & acetone. Tight, very acidic apples. Apricot. Pear. Leather. Bitter, runny finish. Gets tastier as it warms, but unfortunately the texture doesn’t, so drink up. Love discovering little inspired labels. A treat.

Color of orange juice with lots of slow fizzing. Aroma of peaches and apple cider. Leaves pulp on the glass. Flavor is apple cider sweet with peach flavor combined with sour acid to cut the sweet.
