Red in color, and definitely smelling and tasting like Malbec. And while you want to like it more, there are some glaring flaws here, namely a weak bead that turns it flat. Furthermore, there’s rhubarby sourness at the core. Has its moments but needs more work.

Ginger ale aromas and a foamy, gassy burn give this bubbly a personality similar to soda pop. The flavors are rather tart and green, with a note of green bean. Tastes and feels more narrow and vegetal than desired. On the plus side, it gets better the more it sits and the more you get to know it.

Aggressive lemon-lime aromas are itchy, and the nose turns grassy and green. Overactive in the mouth, and tough to hold on the palate. Just at the level of acceptable; warning signs have been posted.
