From a 12 oz can. Pours a crystal clear pale gold with a scant head. Aromas are of deadfall apples. Flavors are of sour crabapples. Bone dry.

Can schlepped by my wife, down from RI. NB goblet @home. Clear, yellow gold, but a little on the sulfur-y side. Pretty active. Metallic, sugary dried fruit, heavy preserved nose, like cheap Prosecco. Taste is stuffy, odd, honey wax upfront, drying out into a more rational sizzle of white grape & cherry skins. The heavy preservatives upfront are pretty thick, but they pass. Very sharp, hard acid, nicely tannic, peppery & with lingering leafy bitterness. Very sloppy edges, but okay to good once you get into it.
