| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 23, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Pours a hazy gold with a small frothy off-white head. Mild aroma of apples.Slightly watery flavour of lightly tart apples backed by malt. Average bodied. A pleasant enough Fruit Beer. MartinT (5080), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 12, 2009 My Bottom Line:
Sweet apple must develops decent tartness around straightforward cereal flavors for this uncompelling but pleasantly fruity brew.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam surrounds the cloudy amber.
-This has more body than hard cider, but the flavor profile remains quite similar.
-If carbonation were increased a bit, this would be a welcome replacement to any session cider available in the province.
-This is not my kind of brew, but I can appreciate the fact that it is well rendered and they can probably reach a new clientele with the novelty factor.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Nov 19, 2009 2009-11-17. Hazy cider amber body with a small beige head. 3+ Fruity aroma, both ale fruitiness and fresh fruity apples. 7+ Flavour is crisp, fresh apples with mild malt base below. Touch of Granny Smith like notes, other lightly acidic apple characteristics. 7+ Average palate suits it. Refreshing, quite drinkable. It is probably a bit too cidery/appley for some, but I found it very enjoyable. On tap at the brewpub

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 17, 2009 Draught. At the brewpub. Slightly hazy gold with an average creamy white head. Light aroma of slightly musty apples and vague white-wine - quite cidery. The taste is of tart apples mixed with a very young, light white wine (chablis), but not boozy at all - light and still mouthfeel, the acidity emerges in the linger ... I liked it, I would love to see them add some mulling spices to this for a flavour kick. Eructoblaster (1510), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 25, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Very cloudy golden/beige (almost looks like Bailey’s) body with a thin beige creamy head. Nice malty/hoppy aroma with apple and flowery hints. Fresh taste that carries apple notes. Ends with a fair bittersweet finish. Enjoyable and refreshing. Lubiere (4556), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 18, 2009 A hazy amber ale with a thin off white head. A sweet chaly aroma overlayed with apple pulp notes. In mouth, a rather mineral sweet ale with sourish granny smith apples. strong chalky notes, a bit light bodied. On tap at brewpub, Oct. 18 2009.
