Draft - Sweet acidic apple. Clear gold. Lots of non sweet apple and dry. No alcohol or sweetness. Not bad, but not as complex as I would think with the crab apple.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Golden color, with basically no head. Nice apple aroma, dry, a bit flowery, very light vinegar. The mouthfeel is very dry; it has a strong acidity, unfortunately with acetone as well; the final is very dry, and expectedly astringent.
I like ciders full of tannins, but acetone and astringency don’t work out well, and the acidity is a bit too high.
