Can @Ellipses. Why haven't I seen this before? Pint glass. Still, clear, medium gold. Nose is dried fruit from Whole Foods. Pineapple, apple, apricot. Industrial bitter-tart mix of cider & trash apples. Heavy sulfite, dried pineapple finish. Meh-ish. Is it cheap though.

12oz. can at the Cigar City brewpub, Tampa Airport F Airside. Very light yellow/gold, no hear but a little bit of visible carbonation. Aroma is mostly caramel and graham cracker crust. I'm getting the addition of the tart apple in the sweetish taste. Perfectly judged. Light sourness in the finish, more fruited caramel pops up in the aftertaste. Low to medium carbonation.
