Sampled at Fireworks Arlington. Pours a clear, limey gold with zero head. Nose is fairly mild, muddle apples, green apple skins, mild honey. Not a whole lot happening in the aroma. Flavor shines more, crisp green apple, some mild earthy crab apple too, honey, a little dried fruit lurking - like dried cherry or raisin, some pear notes too. Crisp finish.

Refrigerated 75 cl brown bottle corked and capped poured into a white wine glass. Pours pale yellow (about as light as I have seen), no carbonation, very little head, slightly syrupy texture, and no lacing. Taste is tart apple (mostly granny smith), white wine, and dry. Closer to a white wine than a cider for me.
