16 oz. can. Lightly hazy golden appearance. Aroma of floral hops, honey, milled grain. Flavor of sweet bready malt, honey, and a soft lager yeast. Maybe apple hints. Mineral? Very clean finish and proper for the style.

Can pour from Eddy's Beverage Inc., Saratoga Springs. Lightly hazy gold with trace sparkle, ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is cracker malt, essence of green apple, milder pine and grass (as advertised). Taste mirrors aroma. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, crisp, dry malty finish. True to style but with some intriguing nuances.

Can at Evil Twin Dumbo. Served in a frosty mug! Clear, straw, lingering froth. Weak farmyard, murky apple nose. Borderline sour, floral twang, white bread sweetness(?); Twangy tart, bitter-sharp. Lingering soap & tough acid. Bright & cleansing. Appreciate the insensitivity, but the flavor wasn't great.

Tallboy from the BK cider week open-house. Dull pale gold pour, lingering froth. What smells initially of spilled beer, clears & becomes a very strong buttery/wax/obvious chardonnay scent. Taste is sharp apples & a lighter, floral chardonnay quality. Slight twang. More yeast than margarine while it's cold. Soft green bitterness on the end. A bit boosy. Light frothiness throughout, prickly, low carbonation, with an itchy yeasty texture for contrast. This is better, if just subtler & quaffable from the can I felt. At less then $4 a pop, this is a solid try.

Poured from a can. Everything I see elsewhere online lends me to believe this should be link but mine seems straight cider so not sure if I got straight cider? Blueberry and fruit is subdued. Dry cider some grass and hint of sweetness. Little wet wood. Fairly crisp.
