Incorrectly had some ciders after a bunch of their meads. Previously brewed by Chatham Cider before being bought out.
Pale amber pour, lingering lace.
Perceivably tart nose, pedestrian juice box.
Industrial apple, off-dry but plenty of residual, core, sharp, menthol, decent tannins, yeasty off-flavor.
Okay.

On tap after a bunch of their meads.
Deep grape drank, fizzy soda.
Sweet & juicy currant nose. Dessert apple skin.
Tart currants, juice box apples, malic, very fizzy.
Blinded by how even average pours are made better by currants.

Bottle thanks to Julian. Pours a clear ruby with no head. The aroma is strong cocoa, raspberry, honey, booze. Thin body, strong berry, cough medicine, harsh booze finish, ok.

Bottle sample at the source. Clear purple color. Huge raspberry aroma. Taste is creamy fruit, almost savory. More cream at the long finish. Not my favorite.
