3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at the Great Lakes Brewfest 2009. Hazy amber with a thin tan head. Aroma of apples and apple strudel, dough, cinnamon, sugar and spices.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
MiBG Summer Fest 2009, Friday Session: Coppery hue with a small fading head. The aroma has notes of Belgian candi sugar and yeast, some faint ripe apples and biscuity malts with a hint of flowery spices. The taste is boozy and apple pie with a constant sweet and sugary tone which makes it cloy in the end. The mouth feel is soft and smooth. This should be better than it is and needs a major overhaul. Once you get past the apple it is an average Tripel styled brew.
