Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - pale but bright yellow and clear, steady carbonation and a quickly disappearing head.
Nose - bread, grass, toffee and dried orange.
Taste - caramel, cakey, raisin and dried fruit peel again.
Palate - medium bodied, creamy middle and lightly cleaned up on the finish, though still a little sweet.
Overall - interesting version of a Fest.
