Bottle at man in the moon. Pours clear blonde. Foam is unstable, as of course, this is a cider. Smell is full, funky natural apples. Very funky. Taste is full, very highly carbonated. Dry finish, after a full blast of natural apples. Indeed pretty good, but to my own liking a tad to slick ( almost like a diacetyl mouthfeel) and too high Carbo.
