Poured from 750mL bottle. Clear yellow gold with minimal white head. Sweet apple and feint cinnamon, a bit bland. Average.

750ml @ SF shared with almost full gang (missing two biggest guys only).
Aroma: apple pie, some apples seeds, a bit artificial and grainy.
Taste: along the same lines.
Overall: meh.

750mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out rooibos, gentle honey, crisp apple skins, and a touch of cinnamon. Flavour has plenty of spiced apple, cinnamon, rooibos tea, with low-to-moderate sugars on the finish. Not much complexity, but at least it’s not sweet. Integrated; pleasant.

Bright gold. Has a spicy apple note, lots of cinnamon. Good apple, fairly sweet, cinnamon, with a bit of ginger. I don't get a ton of rooibos. It's decent, but eating apples seem to be a thing here. Lacks complexity and dryness.

On tap at Threefold. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Lots of grassy rooibus, gentle spice, earthy honey, and apple skins on the nose. Flavour has apple cores, plenty of rooibus, herbal, some residual honey-like sweetness. It's okay. I don't love the apple expression and the rooibus is very present, but overall not terrible.

As it warms it smells like a Fisher Price toy. Lovely.
