Tap Handle #660: Shock Top - Honeycrisp Apple Wheat

Tap size:  10.5"
Rarity:  readily available, seasonal
Mounting:  internal 3/8" nut

This is the last Shock Top tap I have that has not been profiled. It is much the same as other Shock Top taps, except for the apples that appear all over it. One peculiar feature is a vine twisting up the base with apples attached to it - I'm pretty sure apples don't grow on vines. I have not tried the beer yet, but I will admit I am intrigued, since Honeycrisp is my favorite apple variety. However, it does not appear as a current beer on the Shock Top website, although that may simply be due to its spring seasonal status. Like most Shock Top taps, these are easy to find and fairly inexpensive on the secondary market.
