3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Pasanella & Sons near the old Fulton Fish Market. What Fulton now lacks in fish, it make up for in pricey, locally grown hippie food. L09/2009 stamped on the cork. Served in a stange glass.
Clear, amber gold body. Subtle activity.
Smells of browned, bittersweet apples. Peppery greens, minerally sweat, fermenting grain.
Has a somewhat unexpected English cider taste to it. Old, bittersweet apples. A little dirty/danky. Hard water. Envelope glue, with a lingering woody vanilla finish.
Spritzy carbonation. Mellow, upfront lingering tartness, moderately low amount of acid. Talcy texture.
A bit old maybe? Had higher expectations for this.
