Scent was strong, sweet orchard apples. Slightly aged, musty aroma. Pour was pale yellow with few bubbles and no head. Flavor was nice sweetness with mild bite. Finish was faint at best and not too much to get excited about, similar in taste as the first sip. Over all not bad, not too good neither. Not something I would go out of my way for. Thanks to ante for sending this to me to try.

A bit hard on the carbonation, medium body. Long finish with apple flavors. Some alcohol all the way. Not a bad one, but it didn’t ring any bells. 110304
