Served in a tulip glass at Publican 11/20/08. Thanks to HeatherAnn for the assist!

A: Served a hazy/cloudy golden color with the tinyest of tiny heads. No surprise that the tiny head turns into a tiny ring that leaves no lace.

S: Incredible aromas of tart apple, honey, orange peel, and spices. Not much more to it than that and it's near perfect!

T: See above. Delicious flavors of honey, orange peel, and tangy apple dominate with the addition of a bit of toasty malt.

M: Comes off sweet with a dry, earthy finish.

D: It was hard to put this one down. The experimentation continues at Fulton Street. Do they have plans to bottle this one? I hope so...
