| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Apr 15, 2006 Pours clear golden with a nice sized white head that goes down gradually. Aroma is all cinnamon and red apple - more like a cider than a beer on the aroma. Initial taste is clean apple - it is okay, but not really beer-like. Finish is metallic and sour. I didn’t go into this with high expections, so I’m not too disappointed. This would probably be nice for someone used to a mass market cider, but as a beer there is much to be desired. thehoff (569), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Oct 18, 2006 Smells like sour apple jolly ranchers. It delivers what it says it delivers. It tastes like applesauce with cinnamon but then has a horrible dry weird aftertaste. Definitely different but I would rather drink a Strongbow cider. I really think I would get sick off this stuff very quickly. JJClark (546), Roscoe, Illinois, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Dec 24, 2007 Bottle. Pours a light amber color with almost no head at all. Aroma of apples and spices like a cider. Plenty of carbonation. Has the flavor of spices, cider. Big apple taste. No bad and easy to drink but one was all I wanted.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Dec 12, 2006 Bottle. Pours pale yellow with a moderate white head. Aroma is mulled apple cider---apples, apple skins, cinammon, and cloves. Flavor is like moderately spiced cider, with a bit of noticeable fermentation producing an odd sour note. If I had tasted this blind I would probably have placed it as cider rather than beer. It’s not terrible if you like cider, but somewhat artificial tasting, and the sour note gets annoying as it warms up. jetzler (622), oklahoma city, Oklahoma, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 22, 2007 Bottle, Strong apple aroma, with a long lasting whtie head, a lot of carbonation. Taste of apples, some corn, a bit sweet, its ok, not bad but not sessionable. shrubber85 (3016), Wallhalben, Germany
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Dec 30, 2007 Bottle. Candied apple and malt aroma. Pale yellow color with small head. Sweet cinnamon and apple malt flavor. Tastes like spiced cider so delivers what it claims. demitriustown (708), Shelby Township, Michigan, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | May 4, 2006 Pours a clear golden color with a large sized billowing white head. Aroma is apple cider, cinnamon, a light alcohol note, and a very light malt note. Taste is quite sweet with the cinnamon and sugar coming to the front, apple pie, and some other spices. Palate is sweet and sugary. If they dumbed down on the sugar a bit it would be a halfway enjoyable beer. Way to sweet and the apples take a backseat. This brew seems like it needs to be reworked, and with a little tweeking it could be decent. Below average. Crash (449), Macomb, Illinois, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Dec 12, 2005 Let’s start with the best part of this beer, aroma. A nice mix of apple and other spices mostly cinnamon. OK, now that out of the way, I didn’t really like it much. It was like a failed mead.
