Single from Finger Lakes something something. BB: 12/06/22. Lowball back at the hotel So appreciative that I didn't have to add this fool. Foggy, pale guava/watermelon pink pour. Smells of vinegar, fermenting trash, some very floral melon. Taste is a watermelon & apple sour. A little vinegar, gum & a shot of something papaya-ish/guava/tropical that drags out till it gets floral. Yeasty finish. I can never understand rhubarb, as it's always paired with strawberry(does it taste like melon?). It is sour, but not to the extreme & the vinegar makes it a little less fun. Forced carb is good, little bit of a slurry feel. This 6.9% game has to stop. First Graft in a long while, & it's okay.

12oz can, Best Before 12/2/22, drunk 1/28/22. Mildly hazy, delicate, unripened watermelon pink. Fizzy bubbles quickly dissipate. Really delicate, lovely nose of melon, strawberry, peach and a moderate, enjoyable acidity. Dry and yet with a burst of light, melon-like sweetness on the end. It's obviously the rhubarb, but it tastes pretty close to a melon, to me. Some strawberry in there, as well, with a brace of enjoyable, balancing acidity contributing tartness but no huge sourness. Very approachable, fruity, complex and interesting on account of the rhubarb. Light, spritzy body, but not too much so. Wouldn't call it watery.

Interesting blend of sweet and hoppy. Vanilla and milk sugar add a really nice finish.

Pricey little can from Covenhoven about six months ago. Kept sleeping in the back of the fridge. Not a good practice for volatile Graft products. Mojito glass @home. Pretty, clear, rosé inspired brew with maybe a twinge of orange. Second pour has just a spittle of yeast to murk it up. Inviting sharp plum/rose scent layered over perceived apple acidity. Spices are thankfully super faint for now. Taste is light apple rosé, which is all the trend(& I agree with it). Moderately tart, moderately acidic, bitter but hinting at bittersweet apples. Thin & airy, with very parching black tea drying it all up. Some very quiet spice at the very tail. It's so restrained, I'm shocked Graft could be so patient. This is wonderful. I think it's the tea. Love them tannins. It doesn't taste at all like the typical yogurt powdered spice bomb still fermenting experiment I frequently get. It also still tastes like apples. ...$28/4pack. Hopefully they re-bottle in a bigger format.
