Moosejaw Apple Ale

Brewed by Moosejaw Pizza & Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin USA

On Tap @ Buffalo Phil’s (Wisconsin Dells) Menu said brewed by Moosejaw Pizza and Dells Brewing Co. Apparently a cowboy favorite... Poured a hazy pale gold with a nice frothy white head. Aroma was apple tartness over a biscuity malt. Flavour definitely had apparent apple flavours, a cidery body with pale malts backing. Clean bitter/tart fruity finish. Pretty tame, but tasty enough.

poured in a small, almost shot glass. Cloudy, golden color. Smell of apples and spice. Taste of some minor cinnamon, then a ton of apples and vinegar. It was very tart with some hoppy note on the end. This one was my sife favorite....not mine

On Tap at the Great Lakes Brewfest. Hazy amber with a thin white head. Aroma of apple peel, apple, cinnamon, Taste is more of the same with a dryness to it that’s akin to eating an apple.

This was a crazy beer. I never had an apple beer before, so I didn’t know what to expect. Pours a light yellow colour with a heavily aromatic apple bouquet. a light mouthfeel, somewhat grainy but apples all the way through. Not citrusy like a cider, but just super wicked green sour apple fruity.

(growler thanks Skyview) Pours light gold with a white head. Apple smell and that’s about it. Taste was initially apple and not too bad, then there is a period of no flavor, and then a grainy finish dominates and is somewhat detracting.

Grainy character with faint apple character. Grainy body with a faint apple undercurrent.

[Growler, thanks Skyview] Pours pale golden with a white head. Aroma is tart apple but not very strong. Taste is apple and a little grain in the finish. Fairly thin. The apple is too subdued and does not mesh well with the grainy finish.

The aroma has lemon. Very light apple, barely there at all. A little sour in the finish. Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Not much of a fruit beer.
