Bottle at home. Bought at Hog’s Back Brewery. Vague apple cider aroma. Medium gold. Quite bubbly but just the head is limited to a few white strands. Sour - initially quite tart before fading away. Light bodied. Soft, a small amount of carbonation and then a subdued, if not abrupt, finish. Nice but after the initial sour hit it doesn’t sustain interest.
