Clear, pale gold, barrel pull at the source. Wife with me on nearly every pour.
Bright, pear & apple sharp nose.
Thin, brandy-ish, slight body, pippin tart with some light tannins. Medium high acid, high tartness. Good belly warmth. Not sweet.
Decent nightcap.

Side by side offering with the 2022 at the source wife my patient wife. Clear, pale gold pour. Floral, soft melon nose with a little oak. Sweet dessert pear, saline, rose water, light cantaloupe, a little rubber. Tacky, mildly tannic finish. Juicy. Decent bubbles. Good & drastically different from the 2022(which I preferred).

Clear, frothy, $5 light gold mason jar pint pour. Soft melon & pear sweet nose. Lemon, more melon, slight earth, creamy yeast, lightly sharp apples. Soft acid, medium tartness. Very frothy. I think it was mentioned that these apples are from South Hill. Nice.

One of the rare non-vintage offerings they had. Clear, dull, pale plum pour. Stuffy, sweet peach, creamy nose. Earthy, soft bittersharp & bittersweet, mildly tannic grape skin, floral rose, slight twang, slight saline. Thin, medium-low carb, medium low acid, medium high tartness, zero dry, slightly boozy on the tail. Very good overall.

Dark, bubbly, grape juice pour. Vinous, bubblegum & dry, sharp apple skin. Upfront earthy, deep blueberry juice with a bittersharp, mild Sidra character. Watery. Sharp & heavy tart. Good tannic finish with a little twang. Inconsistent but helpful forced carb. No idea on the abv, it wasn't listed. Good, if a bit too sour.

Out of town excursion with the wife. Stemware. Gorgeous, opaque, deep honey gold pour. Earthy, slightly footy, juicy but soft nose. Tacky, juicy, heavy bittersweet with a touch of sharp. Semi-sweet, cream, very parching popsicle stick. Consistent, soft bubbles. Great+. Wife also loved it.

Stemware at the source with my wife. Clear, medium honey gold pour. Soft sidra, melon & saline forward nose, a little rubber. Taste is semi-sweet, juicy cantaloupe, mild sidra vinegar, twangy but not sour, faint rose, a bit of lemon black tea. Intentionally still but with some unintentional spritz. Liked.
