Niagara Falls Apple Ale

Formerly brewed at Niagara Falls Brewing (Moosehead)
Style: Fruit Beer
Brampton, Canada

I’m usually wary of the sweetness of beers like this, but I found the taste refreshing. Very strong aroma.

(Bottle) You are probably going to find me strange for this review but I actually like the balance of this beer and find it much smoother and easier to stomach than Honey Browns. I'll even dare to say its got some complexity to it! Pours a thin, creamy, white head that dissipates to a skin lacing covering a beautifully carbonated amber body. Very floral nose with strong apple mention. Apple front, nice mid-palate bitterness slinking into a subtle malt, like drinking rose pedals... Smooth finish and not too sweet. Lovely, darling! Grossly underrated. I only wish it was in greater distribution throughout Ontario.

Surprisingly yummy. Fairly appley in the taste and aroma. Interesting and refreshing. Definitely not a great beer, but tastey.

I used to get kegs of this for parties when at school in the Niagara Region. I recently revisited in bottle form. On draught I enjoyed the blend of apples and beer – I thought they managed the balanced ok – it had a great aroma and I found the apple presence notable, but the beer still had an assertive malt base that let you know you were not drinking a cider. In the bottles though, I have found it to be inconsistent, with the balance being affected the most. This is a fine line beer that you need to get right every time. Not for everyone.

Apple, hops and candy smell. Dark amber, slightly carbonated, no head. Good bitterness and apple taste. Not too sweet. Very nice.

I will simply quote my friend Alicia on this one: "Green Apple Jolly Rancher". Also, besides smelling fantastic, it had a nice dry finish that added to it's thirst quench-ability! Wonderful.

I remember this beer being better a few years ago, but I still tend to like this more than most. I find it well balanced between the fruit and beer flavours. a little one dimensional, but still enjoyable.

Smells great if you like apple. But when you drink it the apple disappears quickly and a pils is all you got left.
