Single from Press by Press. A few hours in the fridge. Mojito glass at home. Soda fizz pour. Clear, dull, pale gold. Grassy-apple-lychee-dry grape nose. Taste is catty at first. Big orange & sweet pineapple follows. Sweet onion, sharp apple, white wine, chamomile, slight pith on the tail. Solid acidity throughout. A touch too floral. Off-dry. Decent.

Pounder from Press online. Born to Run: 23233 Clear, strawberry-peach sorta color, quick fizz. Sour plum, industrial apple nose. Taste is better: Very sharp & lingering apples, quite bitter, sour plum/grape skin, sort of floral, medium acid but really tart. Just a touch of added industrial sweetness & sulfite edge that I really don't like. Thin, medium carb, acidy, unnecessarily boosted abv. Good for the price point.

Revisited May 30, 2025:
Pounder via Press online, couple months in the fridge. Mojito glass at home.
Creamy, sour berry, cheap chardonnay nose.
Very tart, sour melon, white wine, ugly ethanol.
Thin, too sharp, irritating. Somewhat palatable but too unattractive to swig the whole can.

Gold, nice tartness, has a good apple note, not getting much bourbon, though.

Nice appley, tart, nice balance. Dark gold. Decent cider, though maybe not as complex as I'd like.

On tap at Bale Breaker, pours a clear blonde with a tiny head. Aroma brings out big bourbon notes than sort of come across perfumey, with light toffee and a touch of apple skins. Flavour is full of bourbon — with tons of vanillin — lots of toffee, crisp apple skins, and more vanilla on the finish. Not too sweet, but lots of bourbon and vanilla. Good stuff.

Flavour is medium sweet, with gentle apple skins, light wild yeast, and a touch of toffee-like residual sweetness. Competently brewed but nothing too exciting.

Draft pour at The Tap, Yakima. Rose red pour. Rocky fading head. Juicy apple and soft berry combo. Touch of floral, and a little tart. Bold apple and slight red wine and cranberry on the linger. Love the tart constant here. Flavorful and quite enjoyable.
