1/9/2015 2:55 AM over 9 years ago	+66	Tasting Note			2/20/2021 3:43 AM over 3 years ago	Pulled a second bottle today. Aroma is "cidery," smells tart/sharp, with hints of banana coming through. The mouthfeel is very dry, almost like a white wine, but not quite s dry. Great carbonation level - bubbles dancing in the mouth. There is still a tartness up front, but it has faded a good bit since the first tasting. There is a subtle fruit note (mainly banana of course) coming out, but it is not too significant yet. There is also a subtle soapiness? something that lingers on the tongue that is a little hard to identify, but it is definetely an off flavor. Overall impression: it's just ok right now. Very thin with little that is interesting/excites. Needs more aging!

Notes

The FG usually finishes around 1.006, giving this a higher ABV than showing in the recipe. Give this at least 3 months to mellow, and it just gets better with age.
