Common descriptors are
First made in 2011, this is our annual fall/winter seasonal produced for draft only. This year, we hand smoked all of the apples in small batches over apple wood, then pressed and fermented. We did not add any sugar, juice, or sulfites. The nose is woodsmoke and apple blossom. The taste is smoky & tart, with a hint of natural apple sweetness. It is reminiscent of a peaty scotch. Unfiltered, the appearance is slightly hazy and light straw in color.
