<i>250ml bottle from Tesco.</i> I tried to approach this with an open mind, but that’s not a simple task; the ppearance is off a cloudy apple juice, but with a thick white head; the aroma is a sickly mix of wheat beer and fruit, but with no real hint of apple; the taste is sweet and spritzy and fruity, but again lacking any real apple flavour; the finish is dry with a touch of warming cloves. An odd concoction, hardly deserving to be called a beer.

Sep 24, 2008 Interesting little beer, if you can call it that. The apple is not at all subtle, it tastes more like a sweet cider than a cloudy wheat beer. Nothing offensive, but I wouldn’t go for it again.

Sep 21, 2008 Bottle I bought for KP but got drunk when I cleared the house of alcohol one night. A lot better than I thought. I don’t like apples or fruit beer. Smells very sweet and tart but isn’t really. Erm...apples...not that bad.

Sep 20, 2008 Cask at The Rake. Very cloudy pale white beer. Thin head. Aroma is quite spicy and wheaty with a strong distinct apple sweetness. A bit of coriander citrus as well. Flavour is much more apply that the aroma suggested. Very fresh apple and light clove/allspice apple pie sweetness along with a soft citrusy tartness. The aroma is quite similar to the Ephemere Apple but the flavour here is more cidery. Soft fruitiness and a lingering perfumey sweetness as well. It is quite unique and I think it works pretty well.

Sep 13, 2008 Hazy pale yellow colour, big foamy head. Aroma has cinnamon, apple juice and sugar. Heavily perfumed flavour has sweet apple, cinnamon, a bit soapy. Bad.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottle, thx to Tarjei. A unclear, yellow drink with a small white head. Citrusy, apple aroma with cinnamon and some white sugar. The first flavor detected is the cinnamon, which also lasts all the way into the finish, but there’s also apple and hints of witbier. Sticky, medium mouthfeel. Apple and the already mentioned cinnamon in the finish. An odd beer, drinkable, but too sweet to have refreshing qualities. (080731)
