Draught @ Van Moll Brewpub. Clear orange golden color, medium sized off-white head that diminishes quickly. Aroma is lightly green apple, applepeel. Tastes about the same, green apple but not sour, applepeel, a slight sort of tart. Medium dry, quite nice.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with steady bubbles and a very thin head. Nose - sweet synthetic apples. Taste - more of the same. Too sweet to be wholesome. Palate - light bodied with a light creamy texture and a tangy finish which could be cleaner. Overall - generally synthetic.
