a: perfectly clear golden body| crazy odd rising from the bottom with an interesting effervescence
a: tart | bread | caramelised sugars
f: light spice | rich apples | soft nuts on finish
t: crisp | slightly perfumey | refreshing
o: easy-drinking | great tart-sweet balance | nice for the style (although nothing perfectly 'honeycrisp' about this to me in terms of the apple variety)

Poured a clear golden yellow color with a small, fizzy head, but otherwise still. Aroma was big spiced pumpkin and apple - mostly cinnamon, nutmeg, some allspice? There's an underlying smoke to this. It's light, and okay.

Panda courtesy of SHIG, cheers Shawn! Orangey amber colour, bubbly white foam head and aroma of cinnamon, apple, doughnut. Taste is sweet, tangy, cinnamon, doughnut, vanilla, some apple, sugary, with alittle tartness. Medium bodied, light carbonation, sweet & drying cinnamon & apple finish. Quite drinkable.
