Quite hazy golden and light orange coloured body with a very fast-dying tan head and very large bubbles throughout that makes this look like soda, similar to most other offerings from Graft. Aroma of soured fruits, pure honey, grass, flowers and a nice spicey smell of canella, allspice and some nutmeg - almost smells like a mug of mulled apple cider (and probably not too far off from that, in actuality). Light-bodied; Sharp apple and honey flavour dominates at first with tons of sour and tart fruits - very nice! Finishes with a good deal of spice from allspice and canella with a good woodsy and lightly earthy bite at the end. Aftertaste shows a great balance of sour, tart, sweet and spicey qualities - all somehow while being easy-going and simple to drink, while being complex. Overall, a very nice cider - perfect for the fall season...even though none of the root or smoked notes were picked up, the rest was very nice! Great to sample and yet another winner from Graft! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 21-October-2018 for US$3,49 sampled just over a year later at home in Washington on 09-November-2019.

Sampled from a can this beer poured a bright yellow gold color with a small white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was musty and medicinal with graininess and apple. The flavor was musty and grainy with medicine, tart apple and bubblegum. Long finish. Medium body.

Can of poison from Covenhoven. Pint glass. Cloudy orange gold honey body. Soft blend of anise, clove, zest & apples. It’s not overdone & actually quite nice. Acidic apples & tangy zest. Smokey mead. Root beer. Slightly heavy but really carbonated. This works.
