All three are really cold right now. They taste about the same. They were carbonated in the bottle. I'm guessing they could have used another week of carbonation. They don't taste too estery right now. Any of them. They were pretty bad when I bottled them. I think they may get worse when they warm up.
They are warming up now. They still all taste the same and they taste sort of neutral. No apple esters. WTF is going on here? I added priming sugar and that fixes everything? Maybe the small fermentation in the bottle cleaned things up a little more?
Well they do taste better to more O2 they have but it seems very minor. They are fully warm now. No huge esters. They don't taste great but not bad either. Also, they all taste very similar.
Mrs. Avery tasted them warm and noticed they were bitter. I think she is right about that. She liked the shaked bottle best. She didn't notice any esters either.
