My Feedback:

C Squared’s ode to the underwater legend looks like a cloudy Belgian ale and has a fair amount of the fermentation smell in the nose, though it is not overpowering and there are some tart notes and the scent of bittersweet apples. This Sailor Series drink has a pretty aggressive flavor that is quite sour and even a bit bitter with a light rubbery texture. You definitely get some acidic burn at the back of the throat. It is similar in character to more aggressive sidras or farmhouse ciders like scrumpies. Even though it is strong, it is not so funky that it is not drinkable, but I wouldn’t serve it to cider newbies. It would unquestionably leave that acidic burn in the back of your throat long enough to make the voyage from the mainland out to Nantucket. I could definitely see a salty ol’ sailor loving this! But you have to be honest with yourself, are you the pink-shorts-with-Sperry Top-Siders kind of sailor, or the watch-my-mermaid-tattoo-dance kind of sailor? This caters more to the latter.
