RERATE (750ml bottle, 2019 I think, shared by Herbalist - thanks!) No real notes on this one but it was massively more enjoyable than the 2017 vintage at the festival. Exceptional apple concentration but lovely skin tannin and crispness, well-executed funk, superb Champagne-type mouthfeel, not that much residual sweetness for a cryo-concentrated product. Upping my rating substantially. (Bottle sample @ Witchstock 2018, Toronto, Sept 29/18) Pours hazy medium gold with a fizzy white head. Notes of semi-sweet apple juice and flesh, some slightly more bitter notes (seeds/stems/skin?), rather light funk and light to moderate oak, warming alcohol. Sweetish up front, semi-sweet through the finish, rather short aftertaste with clean crispness. Medium-bodied, slick, with light effervescent sparkling carb. I was expecting a bigger flavour concentration and heft from a 12% apple wine, and thought this was a little softer and simpler than hoped. (7-3-7-4-16 = 3.7)

(Bottle sample @ Witchstock 2018, Toronto, Sept 29/18) Pours rather hazy extremely pale yellowish with a white head. Notes of fresh and funky Riesling with a tart grape and citrus quality, heavily funky pears and apples, wet hay and barnyard, mineral crispness, some oak and a lactic bite. Largely tart and lightly sweet up front, finishing quite dry with a long funky grapey aftertaste. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Certainly unusual, but I really liked how the Riesling blended with the cider and perry personally.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8
(On tap @ Bar Hop, Toronto, Oct 1/18) Pours nearly clear dark red with a purplish tinge and tiny whitish head. Notes of semisweet apple, moderate crushed sweet/tart blueberry, fair amount of tannic blueberry skin, high levels of leafy herbal Mosaic, light citrusy touch, finish is moderately bitter with hops and berry astringency. Lightish body, soft carbonation. More about the hopping than the berries and more about the berries than the apples, but rather easily quaffable.
