473mL can, pours a pale, clear blonde, almost no head. Nose has tons of dry oakiness, dry apple skins, and straw. Flavour is dry, with dry oak, harsh vanillins, and apple core. Dry, finishing with vanillins and oak. It’s alright.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear pale blonde with minimal white head. Feint oak barrel with bland apple character, fairly muted, inoffensive, but lots of room for growth.

473mL can. Pours clear, very pale blonde with no head. Apple skins and woody barrels on the nose. Flavour has dry apple skins, some fruity apple juice, and a dry, oaky finish. It's very nicely done.
