750mL bottle, pours a clear golden, no head. Nose brings out barnyard funk, some hay, dry apple skins, and a touch of sugars. Flavour is semi-sweet upfront, with toffee, brown sugar, barnyard funk, and gentle hay. Good yeast complexity, nice funkiness, and some wild bugs. Very good.

750mL bottle. Pours hazy blonde. Musty apple skins and a buggy funkiness on the nose. Flavour has apple skins, semi-dry apple juice, good layer of funk, and champagne-like effervescence. Very nice.

Bottle pour at Threefold. Pours clear gold with a white head. Nose is a bit of a blend of quince and apple juice. Flavour has tart quince, apple skins, some champagne yeast, and lingering, pungent sweaty quality that is not very pleasant. Overall it's a bit disappointing for Twin Island.

[Vol. VI] Bottle pour at Threefold. Pours clear gold with a minimal white head. Very earthy nose with musty red apple skins. Flavour is also pretty earthy with a lot of apple skins, gentle tartness, some tannins, a bit musty, and a very nice layer of champagne yeast. Awesome.

Hazy and pale. There's mellow apple, nice juiciness. Good quality, slight fizz.

Slight haze. Light quince and apple notes. Fairly tart. Not bad, but a bit odd.

A purplish colour. Tart, good appley accent. Medium tartness. Low tannins, so well-balanced.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2025, pours a clear rosé, no head. Aroma has plenty of rosé wine, musty grape skins, and some dry apple skins. Flavour is dry and musty, with moderate funk, lots of rosé wine, and must dry grape skins. Complex, dry and wonderfully blended. Excellent.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2025, pours a clear yellowish blonde, no head. Aroma has lots of barnyard funk, complex wild yeast, champagne-like effervescence, and bone dry apple skins. Flavour is nearly bone dry, with champagne-like effervescence, and dry apple skins. Funky, dry and complex. Excellent.
