On tap on a lazy weekend afternoon at the Brewery in Crown Heights. Wobly, thin bar. Potpourri in the air that I mistook for the mulled cider they also had available. Cloudy gold. Extra foamy. Really takes on a satisfying beer-like head. Yeasty, mellow apple scent. Slight sourness. Great texture. Thank you malt. Dry, dusty, half sour, tasty bitter. Slightly tart, punchy tannins. Earthy finish. Supposedly this is prepackaged cider base, but doesn't come off as generic or indifferent in flavor. Had another pour right away. Really unique.

Draught @ the taproom (11/30/18). Cloudy pale yellow with very small frothy off-white head, fruity acidic aroma, low carbonation, woodsy/yeasty slightly sour cider like taste, thin body, long dry finish. Interesting brew, I did not know what 'graff' was when I tasted this. Learned later on that it's kind of an apple beer that originated in Stephen King's Dark Tower novel series (http://darktower.wikia.com/wiki/Graf). Fascinating!
