Kinda surprised this tastes pretty much like a real cider with the kinda funkyness, a bit of sourness, a bit of that stank that comes from a natural fermented cider, a little bit wild/farmhouse, it actually tastes like there’s brettanomyces in this, but after a while the sourness seems more kettle soured, so I’m unsure. The hopping though, I’m not so much of a fan. The hops kinda come through more like a hop tea, like there hasn’t been the bio-transformation or whatever happens when you boil and ferment hops in beer wort with beer yeast. It could just be more-so that a sour beer as light and fruity as a cider would usually have little to no hopping, so comparisons are difficult to make. Its not bad and the actual cider tastes really good. I did not think it would be 8%. The non hopped one is 3.4% and is also very nice, its super dry, very tart, but still some of the same sourness and funky stank etc.

Somewhere slightly above 2.5/5.
