BAP Bière à la Pomme (Appel Bier)

Brewed by Brouwerij Lindemans
Style: Fruit Beer
St Pieters Leeuw-Vlezenbeek, Belgium

(Bottle 25 cl) Pale golden, slightly hazy beer with a very white head leaving a pretty lacework. Very pronounced notes of apple. Slightly sweet with some perfumy touches. But very drinkable also, and actually wellmade. An excellent aperitif I reckon. Wonder what the base beer is? Witbier? 220401

Bottled 25cl, alc. 3.6% (BB 11/2006)
Hazy pale yellow, tight white head. Strong sweet&sour aroma of mashed green apples. Flavor is par to aroma. Sugary. Some sourness in the finish. Too sweet to be liked.

Bottled. Clear yellow colour, white foamy head. Sweet apple flavour. Apple flavour with hints of cinnamon. Sticky palate. Sweet apple pie in aftertaste.

Bottle: Poured a hazy light yellow color ale with a nice bubbly head that disappeared a tad too fast – the appearance is similar to a wit. Aroma is dominated by apples, very sweet and not sour at all which is probably due to the fact that syrup was used. Taste is very refreshing but malt and hops are not distinguishable. Overall, I would say that this is better then some of the other Belgian fruit syrup beers out there.

The beer after its dislodging from the 330 ml brown bottle sets a nebulous lemon yellow it a modest sized head that is bright white in color and creamy in texture, and the resultant lace a thin sheet to obscure the glass. Nose is that of sweet over ripe apple, refreshing and clean to the senses, start quite sweet with a bit of malt, light top. Finish is meek in its acidity, the hops sparing and the aftertaste dry and sweet, a nice refreshing change of pace.

Oh no! So darn sweet you can't feel anything else. Maybe some apple hidden there, but... Tastes like a Swedish cider.
