Sep 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a slightly amber/cider color, head dissapeared almost immediately. Aroma is a subdued tart apple, sweet. I was a little worried that this was going to be a watered down version of a fruit beer. First sip changed that. This beer is like apple cider without the extreme tartness usually associated with cider. I couldn’t believe how great the apple flavor came across with a touch of malt and cinnamon in the background. Finishes dry, surprising seeing how the beer is more sweet than tart.

Sep 5, 2009 I love apples. Apple juice, cider, pie, jelly you name it. So, you can imagine my joy when I popped the cap off this one. It smelled like fresh apples. Looked like apple juice, smelled like apple juice, and had a flavor profile much like a drier version of Martinelli’s cider. This was a really pleasant surprise. I don’t think I have had one beer from New Glarus that I didn’t enjoy.

Aug 24, 2009 bottle poured an amber golden color with a ring of white foam. aroma has fresh cider and green apples. thicker mouth feel than a cider with just enough carbonation to keep it refreshing. flavor has real fresh pressed cider, a light touch of malt, and is neither overly sweet or dry. this is interesting because it has all the qualities of a good fresh cider but has a bit of malted base underlying it.

Aug 18, 2009 Bottled. A big disappointment. This tastes pretty much like an overly malty, oxidized. Some crisp golden delicious flavors, but mostly a mush of lactic, kind of tangy wort. Not working for me, I’d much rather drink a real cider.

Aug 10, 2009 Apple cider aroma. Pours blonde with no head. Fresh apple juice, cider-like, malty sweetness, spicy hops, a mild tartness, spicy dry finish.

Jul 30, 2009 Went on a mad beer spending spree up in Madison and bought many New Glarus products. Pours a dark orange color with off white head. Smells of a cider beer and flavor is apple cider. Not a big fan of ciders but this is pretty decent.

Jul 19, 2009 12 oz bottle, thanks to Ughsmash. Pours orange with faint offwhite head and almost no carbonation. The aroma is faint and cidery with a bit of a grainy hint. The flavor is pretty much like cider... apples, a little bit of spice, and a distant grain note. Decent enough, I guess, but it’s a cider, not a beer.
