On tap & in cans at Wassail on the LES. Pale, clear, flat, glassy pour. White wine, with a slightly sour apricot scent. Soft, gently tart, dry, fruity build. Not Farnum Hill staple dry, but coming right afterwards. Crushed green grape essence, falling puckering dry on the finish. More acid & less bitter then house stuff. All in all, it tastes like a lighter, more approachable Farnum Hill semi. Pretty good.

Aroma is pretty good nice and spicy perfume with apples. This is an old bottle not sure how old. But I suspect that the cork dried out, as it's a touch flat and Well the description is on the sweet side this is on the tart side. So I think there's some oxidation going on here. A pity.

On tap at Wassail on the LES. Generous wine glass pour. Pale, clear, carbonated. Pretty generic on the outside. Squeaky tart fruit nose. Probably will be bitter. Taste is bright, tart, bittersweet, snappy, juicy lingering apricots. Not crazy high in acid. Thin body. Dry on the finish, but no cottonmouth. A hair sweeter then the basic Farnum Hill lineup. Lovely.

7.5%. Vintage bottle purchased from New Beer Distributors probably a little less then 2yrs ago. Tulip pour. Clear, bronze, still body. Smells of oak, macerated skins, something like plums & something even more so like fading cardamom. Taste is of mouth-drying oak, table wine, & seriously bitter, tannic cores. Faint apricots are the only attribute standing out. A bit boozy. I was expecting more. Full mouthfeel. Cider runs pretty effortlessly. It's just bland.

Bottle from New Beer Distributors in 2015/16. Poured into a Ommegang tulip glass. Still. 14k gold body, clear except for the tiny floaties all about. Smells of apple mulch, wet limestone, brown fall leaves & gum. Apricots, wood. Rose, wax, bitter greens. Lemon. Moderately acidic, core-ish apple flavor. Lightly tannic, faintly tart & lingering. Zippy residual left on my lips long after. Super thin. This could be a cider for all I know, if just a bit less full. Refreshing & super clean, but a bit void of satisfaction. I seem to enjoy my perries more on the sweet & or scrumpy side.
