Nov 29, 2009 Pours a transparent copper orange with a frothy, well-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty caramel malt and lots of fresh juicy red apples. Starts with pretty good fullness and sticky sweet caramel apples with some notes of cinnamon and cardamom. Finishes with some sweet and tart apple juice notes. A pretty unique brew.

Nov 17, 2009 Gusher with a huge mofo airy off-white head on top of a mildly haze amber liquid. Aroma of apple, tannins and grains, not too sweet but not too inviting at the same time. Taste of apples, spices and yeast. Body is over aggressively fizzy and it finishes up with a zippy spicy yeast finish with notes of alcohol. A touch dry too.

Aug 30, 2009 Bottle from Belmont Party.
Poured clear amber color with a large off-white frothy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate apple cider and spice aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture and lively carbonation. Medium spicy sweet flavor with medium sweet finish of moderate duration.
This beer met my expectations and went well with my grilled vegtable soup.

Aug 29, 2009 Bottle. Pours a brownish orange color with a foamy head. Flavor is dry apples, caramelized malt, cider spices, and a hint of alcohol. Medium bodied with a dry finish. Finish is somewhat tart and un-memorable. Not bad for an apple beer, usually they end up being cloying and sweet. Overall decent, not a bad effort.

Aug 29, 2009 Pours a semi-clear copper orange with thick cream-tinged head. Aroma is very tart, yeast and very tart apple cider. Definitely some spicy notes in the aroma. Flavor isn’t overwhelming apply as it is just too tart/a bit sour. Definite spiced caramel undertones. Nothing special or great about this beer.

Aug 5, 2009 Crisp clear ruby-tinted amber coloured body with a thin tan head. Aroma of amazing apple cider, malt, yeast, fruit, spice, allspice, cloves and more tart apples. Medium-bodied; Nice apple flavour up front with a good malt backbone, some hops sort of tucked in, some mulling spice, yeast and a bit of a nuttiness. Overall, a good and potent apple flavoured beer that shows some spice, character and a bit of a kick at the end. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from K&E Discount Beverage in New Paltz, New York on 20-June-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 04-August-2009.
