Dec 7, 2008 Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Very light almost clear pour, no head. Light pear notes, mild malic acidity on aroma. Slightly sweet taste, but dry on the finish. Very light apple notes overall, but nice.

Oct 27, 2008 Tasting at Backus’ Backyard Bash. Thanks to the Cheeseman for the taste! Clears pale yellow pour. Nice dry apple and pear aroma. Slightly tangy apple, pear and just a touch of brown sugar. Very smooth and delicious, but seemed to be missing something.

Oct 26, 2008 Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Pours a crystal clear, light straw color. A tiny, bubbly edge forms from a vigorous pour, with no other signs of carbonation chowing. Thin, runny legs coat the sides of the glass when swirled. Delicate aromas of fresh, crisp green apples and pears show alongside vanilla laden oak. Flavors follow suit, primarily showing that classic marriage between apple and oak. Medium bodied and slick, with zero carbonation. I was surprised to learn that this one weighed in at 12%, because I didn’t get an heat at all. Dangerously drinkable, but a bit underwhelming overall.

Oct 23, 2008 Bottle… Backus’s Backdoor Bash ‘08... Almost colorless with a millipede’s worth of terrific legs. Sweet, fresh apples, vanilla and wood meld to paint the aroma. Light-bodied and just a hint oily with no carbonation. Stale, acidic, boozy and bitter. Finishes dry. Thanks go out to TheCheeseMan for sharing the bottle!
