Taster at the Carter Payne. Pours a murky, reddish, brown color, with a fleeting head. The aroma is cinnamon, granny smith apples, light lemon zest, and brown sugar. Sweet and juicy, with a lovely, mild tartness. Medium body, with a sharp, lively palate and a clean finish. This is a well made oenobier and delicious.
