Bottle pour only. Clear, red maple pour at their Ft. Worth tap room. Different apple base from their canned line. Details are iffy. Boozy, honey, cherry, blackberry, apple skin. Deep fruity red barrel quality. Taste is tart & semi-sweet apples, vinous cloak, with a strong cherry mead quality. Most definitely fortified or added sugar. On the thinner side with a perfect amount of heat. Like dessert cherry wine. It masks a lot of short cuts but it's still really lovely when a shit brand tries once in a while.
