My rating: 3
My beeradvocate.com rating: 3.79

Intro: A 750ml corked and capped bottle. Bottled in March 2023. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A hazy pinkish orange colour with a half finger white head that had dissipated fairly quickly, while leaving only sparse lacing.
Aroma: Vinous, red berries, apple peel, tart, funky.
Taste: Sour, tart, red berry fruits, apple peel, lightly vinous, lemon zest, viney.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, moderate to low carbonation, with moderate to high acidity.
Overall: On the edge of being too acidic, and while being fruity, it wasn’t as vinous or grapey than expected.

My ratebeer.com rating: 3.9

Intro: A 750ml corked and capped bottle. Bottled in April 2022. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A clear golden orange colour with a one finger white head that had good retention and left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Apple, apple peel, lightly tart, with a touch of funk.
Taste: Lightly tart, apple, apple peel, pear, funky, and a touch sour.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate to high spritzy carbonation.
Overall: This is a nice cider, as it was apple and pear cider dominant. I’m not sure I got any part of the red currant lambiek that is supposed to be there though.
