500ml bottle from Appalachian. Tasty Bev pint glass @home. Gold, bit of haze, bubbly. Smells of fermenting mulch, old frying oil & barn-y French cider. Taste is old, oxidized, bittersweet apples & satisfying hard English water that binds it all. Super tannic, mineral-y, taught, moderately acidic, pear-like stone-y apples. Mild sulfites, mild headache. Varnished, old vat finish. Thin, low perceived abv, more acidic than I realized. Carbonation is just right. The apples really seem slightly rotty, but the process seems to make an above average beverage. Average apples, Good slurping.
