Bottle from the georgians: Hazy gold color with a light white head. Aroma is sour some lemon and sour apple. More lemon and apple in the flavor, not overly sour. But still simply amazing. Possibly the hi-light of the night. Re-rate 5/19/07 C-Bus 7: Didn’t take notes, but this blew me away again. So softly balanced, not overwhelmingly sour at all. Had to re-rate, this stuff was incredible.

Bottle @ the RBESG08 Grand Tasting.
[thank you, bager]
Pours hazy yellow-golden with a big, frothy, off-white head. Turns into a thin film. Aroma is funky, good overripe apples and citric tartness. Fine, dry mouthfeel. Flavour is wonderfully dry, lots of barnyard, citric tartness, overripe apples again. Wonderful.

Sampled at the RBESG08 grand tasting. Shady golden with medium white head. Wonderful cideray and earthy aroma with a mild funkiness. Light in body with soft but lively carbonation. Almost perfecly balanced with a light sweetness and a mild but firm acidity.
