Cider I took off my local hipster beer market shelf after getting bored of the same usual 4-pack. Been meaning to try this, but not at their usual price. Rare Vos glass. Igored the wax & went straight for the clasp. Sleeping yeasties at the bottom of the bottle, be wary. Violet-colored brew. Not quite clear or that active of a pour. Smells of berries, roses, vinegar & acetone. So much acetone. Mostly flat with a hunkered in sparkle. Funky/sour/acidic sidra, & purple-grape flavors. Mucho acetone getting in the way. Veggy. Cough syrup. Slick. Could have went better.

Sample at Bob's Bar during the "Little Fish Brewing Night!" on 03/22/2018. This Cider is a slightly clear pale yellow color with a medium white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of apples, vinegar and yeast. Medium body with flavors of oak, tart and funky apples and vinegar. The finish is fruity with a tart apple aftertaste. Above average overall.

Ben drinking this 500mL bottle for a few months. Why? Well, it's hard to drink. At first I like the strong but not overly spicy pepper flavor. Fish peppers are interesting that way. But anything more than a cursory overview of this cider makes you realize how offputting it all is. Very herbal, heather, and mothballs tea aroma. Flavor has pepper and similar mothballs.

Plum makes things interesting here. Millstone always makes interesting ciders. Tangy plum vibe like flanders. Bottle.
