Nice light apples with a bit of rustic notes and tannins. Taste is along the same lines, full-bodied, semi dry. Good one.

Pale, it comes across as perfumey and artificial. Bright but not dialled in.

Clear 500ml from Press online. 1310 12:43. ...Whatever that means. Clear, filtered, medium gold. Earthy, old apple, sweaty, old sugary glaze sort of nose. Hyper crisp, minerally, dry skin, white grape, faint banana yeasties, malic acid, added fermented/carmelized white sugar, dried sulfite apricots, cheap sparkly. Good for a cleanse after some greasy food. Meh by itself. Adding that sugar kinda fucked it.

On tap at Chuck's Greenwood, pours a clear blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out medium sweet apple skins and a tiny hint of farmhouse notes. Flavour is medium sweet, with a hint of farmhouse notes, crisp apple skins, and a touch of hay. Sweeter and less farmhouse-y than expected. It's decently made.

500ml from Press online. Pint glass @home. Dull, hazed gold, not quite still. Sharp, grassy, floral apple, honey, botanical. Bittersweet & sharp, leaning sweet. Acidic, rich grapes, muscadine, Cava, sour pineapple, lingering tartness. Creamy yeast, prickly carb, boozy burn, minerally, bit of salt, bit heavy. This is really nice.

On tap at Ridgewood, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle funk and dry, crisp apple skins. Flavour is very dry, moderately acidic, with crisp apple skins, light funk, and a touch of sweetness. Could have more funk and complexity but it's solidly done.

On tap at Holy Mountain, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is funky and buggy, with lots of apple skins, farmhouse notes and some bugs. Flavour is apple-y and buggy, with crisp apple skins, buggy notes, and barnyard funk. Lots of depth and complexity to this. Excellent.

On tap at Holy Mountain, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out apple core, crisp pink apple skins, and a tiny hint of funk. Flavour is somewhat buttery, with gentle toffee apples, crisp pink apple skins, and apple core. Not all that complex but it's clean and drinkable. Good.
