Affordable 375ml bottle at Appalachian. Mojito glass at home.

Spritzy soda head. Pale gold body.
Sour sidra, vinegar funk nose, floral, bubblegum, spice, plastic.
Taste is way better. Half tart, floral pear skin, white wine, white grapefruit, seltzer, onion, some residual sugar.
Good carb, good acid, touch too yeasty, agreeable bottle size.

Did that 2% crab really carry this? Good blend? Cheers.

500ml bottle from 604 during their first tasting event. Enjoyed it enough to take home... or felt guilt.

Stemless wine glass at home. Dull, pale gold, weak head.
Earthy, bittersweet skin, murky, weak spice, yeasty, subdued.
Twangy- sharp apples, lime peel, apricot, moderate crab apple woody astringency, ends a little sweet with a bit of floral funk.
Frothy & yeasty but the carb dies really quick.

Good.

Third(?) sample at 604 tasting.

Very slight haze.
Soft floral & a little lemon on the nose.
Off-dry to dry. Tart & moderately-high tannins, lemon.
Talcy, faint yeast, good white wine.
Thin, gentle spritz.

Okay.

Tasting at 604. Greedy & kept going back.

Clear, pale metallic gold sheen.
Dusty, washed rice, mild yeasty, floral nose.
Mellow sweetness, bright, moderate acid, slightly pedestrian, gentle tartness on the finish.
Soft affable carb, thin, good.

Nice enough.
