Tallboy from the BK cider week open-house. Dull pale gold pour, lingering froth. What smells initially of spilled beer, clears & becomes a very strong buttery/wax/obvious chardonnay scent. Taste is sharp apples & a lighter, floral chardonnay quality. Slight twang. More yeast than margarine while it's cold. Soft green bitterness on the end. A bit boosy. Light frothiness throughout, prickly, low carbonation, with an itchy yeasty texture for contrast. This is better, if just subtler & quaffable from the can I felt. At less then $4 a pop, this is a solid try.
