On tap at the Farmhouse Tap and Grille Burlington VT. Pours a crystal clear golden amber color with a smattering of tiny bubbles that dissipate almost instantly. Smells of apples, honey, brown sugar, and a hint of sulfur. Taste is sweet with sugar, honey, and apples. Medium body with a semi sweet palette. Nice cyser, and definitely a contrast to the ipa’s I’d been drinking,
