Sep 12, 2006 BCTC. Thanks to DYC. Pours a clear bright gold and low carbonation. Light green apple aroma- green jolly ranchers, hay and herbal with a tart characteristic. Grape must flavor with more green apple, some tannins, ligth astringency and lactic acid tartness in the end. Not too bad on a hot day.

Aug 27, 2006 07.14.06 750ml bottle shared by DYC at BCTC. Palest golden, almost colorless, appears still. Palate is light, maybe leaning towards too light, but still has a light stickiness so you know there’s something going on in there. Very astringent and woody. Nice aromas of rotting, wet wood, fungus, and apple must. Flavors are mild overall, in keeping with the light body. This stuff really is thin, but the mouthfeel of apple tartness and mineral/must really grew on me and I found it refreshing enough that I had a second glass.

Jul 18, 2006 Bottle purchased at Town and Country in West Springfield, MA. Shared at Belgium Comes to Cooperstown 06. 4-5 ounce sample. Apply, slight musty aroma with a bit of cinnamon in the nose as well. Not overly aromatic in my opinion. Transparent pale yellow color with a still head and a couple of small bubbles. Watery, relatively flavorless astringency to start, turning more apple-like and a bit woodsy later on. This is lacking character and flavor. Quite watery.
