Better Bitters Nickel Brook Green Apple Pilsner

Brewed by Better Bitters Brewing Co.
Style: Fruit Beer
Burlington, Canada

This is awful. Is this even beer? Very weak hazy light yellow brew with a fizzy quick death head. Aroma: apples.. green apples. Well done on that front! As advertised. Some hop zip, citric acid.. this is somewhat drinkable but as a beer it is just brutal. Odd cinnamon spice and way too sweet with more apples on the nose. Very fizzy, a light bitter finish with sweet candy apple after taste. The 6 pack DIscovery really shit the bed with this one. Leaves an unwanted coating in my mouth. Any more than 12oz would have been a drain pour.

On tap at Smokeless Joe’s. Pours a clear yellow with a thin white head. Big apple aromas, reminds me of the green apple sour puckers. Wow… doesn’t taste like beer, doesn’t taste like cider. Tastes like some sort of alco-pop, tangy, sweet… really, really sweet. Light grain bitterness that sneaks up at the end in an attempt to fight through the big fake sweet apple flavors.

clear yellow, little beige head. reeks of apples, almost too much, some bread dough. flavour is concentate apple juice, fine for a sip or two, but i cant finish this, the wife seems to like it though.

Bottle from LCBO thanks to Robin ! Pours clear pale yellow with small head, very short retention. Aroma has lots of green apples, slight sour. Taste has some apples. A bit cider-like. Finish is dry. Overall, nothing really comes out except apples. This is not bad but I won’t have again. Slight off flavor here and there.

From the OCB discovery pack no. 2. 341ml bottle poured into a Pilsner glass. Poured yellow with a slight haze to it. Head was a 1/4" which was quickly gone. Looks like your average macro lager. Strong apple juice aroma and not much else. Tastes like apples! Very sweet with some sourness. I find it almost too sweet at times. Good apple aftertaste. Feels much stickier then your average Lager/Pilsner. Pretty drinkable at first but the apple taste can get overpowering as you go. One bottle is enough. It’s hard to call this a beer as It’s more like a fizzy alcoholic apple drink. It’s good for what it is but I’d rather have a cider or mix my apple juice with Whiskey.

kind of gimmicky but not as bad as you would think. Aroma is pure green apple. Pours slightly cloudy pale yellow. Very sweet and appley. Slight astringent finish. Not a "beer drinkers beer" but you could live with one on a patio.

Half of a 12oz bottle. Hazy yellow. Very thiin head. Great green apple aroma. Full of fruit sugars. Overly sweet flavour. Sugary fruit beer. Very big green apple taste. A little cider-like especially in the finish. A light sour apple note as well.

This Pils poured a clear light yellow colour with a nice big bright white head. To the nose there are scents of apples, dough and cinnamon. The first taste was really too sweet and thick. Flavours of sugary carbonated apple juice is about all there is. Palate is sweet and the thickness is lingering. Sickly sweet.
