Shiggy share.

Just the faintest of tint on this pale gold pour. Maybe the cider maker just stained his hands eating some cherries before making this batch.
Apple juice box & subtle cherry skin perfume.
Apple-cherry Mott's juice box flavor with a little extra cherry pith.
Juicy, mellow tartness with a slightly parched finish.

Okay pedestrian stuff.

Courtesy of the flat top wizard.

Mojito glass at home during chats.
Clear pour, metallic, fizzy.
Subtle medicinal berry nose, confectionary sugar.
Thin, mellow dry berry, like schweppes, lemon wedge, soft & tart apple that's just a bit industrial.

Suprisingly refreshing & okay.
