Tasting at Matt's slaughterhouse, bottle; vintage 2020
Hazy to cloudy golden colour. The aroma is mildly funky and vinous. Dry, highly carbonated; as usual, the underlying cider is simplistic, the adjuncts add some dimension, light hazelnuts, petals.
It's ok.

Pinkish, slight colour. Light spice to the aroma, pretty good apple notes, nice sugars. Tart, earthy, nice tannins, and good complexity with a quality tannic note. Good stuff.

750mL bottle, pours a clear peachy pink with no head. Aroma brings out wild bugs, gently tart plums, and some floral notes. Flavour is moderately-to-heavily acidic, with tart plums, floral notes, and a touch of wild bugs. It doesn't have the depth of some other Revels; not been too impressed with this Ostara series. Simple, reasonably coherent, but nothing special.

750ml @ Matt's parents' place with a scenic view. Appearance: cloudy blonde with a white head. Aroma: very fresh with a lot of elderflower notes and funk. Taste: along the same lines, moderately acidic. Overall: very prominent flower character here, but it's probably overwhelming.
