Bottle via Press online & their fall bottle club box.
Lo-ball glass at home after a week in the fridge. Drank half a night ago & enjoyed it too quickly to review.
Pale gold pour, quick sizzle of head, just a bit of haze vs the clean first pour.
Nose is saline, weak ginger ale, bitter melon rind, sharp apples, mild bubble gum & sidra funk, tiny bit of musk.
Bittersharp most of the way. Sour plum, juicy with moderate tartness, lemon, even veggie funk, some woodiness & overall spice on the lightly yeasty entrails. Hard acid & medium sharpness, some minor pith astringency, decently big belly burn. Decent but uneven bubbles. Dry but not completely.
Overall this is pretty sharp & punchy. Probably would have rated it stronger yesterday. Good+.
