On draught at the tasting room. Clear pale golden color with a minimal head and decent legs on the glass. Tart apples and spice in the nose. Full-bodied with a tart granny smith apple character, with some honey and spice in the background. The finish is semi-tart apples and underlying herbal honey. Pretty good all around.
