Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2025, pours a clear pale golden, no head. Nose has lots of musty barnyard funk, dry apple skins, and a touch of champagne-like effervescence — lots of sweaty armpits. Flavour is full of sweaty armpits, some bitter astringency, and weird musty apples. Seems like something went wrong here. Unusual for Twin Island.

750 ml bottle. Pours a garnet read with slight pinkish head. Aromas of dark earthy berries, sharp tart grapes, and fresh cut apples. Flavors follow same with a little more emphasis on apples plus additional grape soda. Nice carbonation. Very dry.
