| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 29, 2005 Decent. Not a beer I would go out of my way to buy. It does not taste bad but it has no outstanding qualities either. I did not taste the apples at all. CaptKirk (175), Hephzibah, Georgia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 22, 2005 Carmel color with a tan thick head on a fast pour from the bottle. Smokey yeastly aroma. First sip tells you this is not an ordinary beer. Fruity overtones give way to a very clean taste with almost no aftertaste. I found this to be a good relaxing beer to enjoy and found myself wanting another one when finished. Nice malty beer with a little hops to give it a zig. shendrix (478), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 19, 2005 Apples in the rear, with smoke and hops up front. Slides along the tongue with a bit of bite, though it could use a tad more. The hops come through nicely, though they could use a bit more barley tang. Overall, a pleasant, though not remarkable brew.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 16, 2005 Nice copper colour with a small long lasting offwhite head. Malty aroma and some hints of caramel and apple. Has lots of apples in the taste also very malty and some caramel. You have the apples in the aftertaste too jazz88 (2237), San Francisco, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 14, 2005 Bottle. I have great memories of this beer from a night at the Half Time Rec in St. Paul, MN many many years ago and on a trip to Wales in 1999 with Nuffield. A silky amber color with a laced tan head. Rich malts, burnt caramel and a touch of fruit in the strong aroma. Well balanced malts with apples and a dry finish. sethdude (603), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 7, 2005 Pours a caramel color, nice billowy head on top. Aroma is mildly bread-like, apple skin and pear. There almost seems to be a slight bourbon nose underneath as well. Flavor is oddly sweet and fruity, apple prominent. Almost slightly vinegary. If you mixed a cider with a beer, this is probably exactly what it would taste like. harrisoni (6828), Ashford, Kent, England
