Bottle from LCB, BBE Nov-25. Pours a clear bright gold with brief white foam. Aroma of clean apple juice, with some light musk and leather overtop. Its a little sweeter than a medium dry but very pleasant and drinkable. A slight bitter apple skin and spice in the finish. Not overly complex but very tasty and not too sweet. Medium body and carbonation. Good stuff.
