fidelis83 (1589) - Clinton, Iowa, USA - FEB 6, 2013
Cloudy pale gold pour with a thin, soapy white head that has decent retention and leaves some lacing. Aroma of apple Jolly Rancher, light starchy grain and a hint of sweet corny malt. Flavor is apple Jolly Rancher, starchy wheat, bitter medicinal and metallic notes, sweet bread spice and some hot, spicy, fusel-like notes. Light off dry, strachy feel throughout with a, oily undertone. Kinda gross overall, all things considered.

IrishBoy (3617) - Bakersfield, California, USA - MAY 19, 2013
Bottle at my nephew’s birthday party. Nose is tart apples, flowers, and cinnamon. Murky yellow with a medium green tinged head. Flavor is lightly tart and fruity with apple and pineapple notes. A pretty decent session beer.

j12601 (5609) - Poughkeepsie, New York, USA - MAY 18, 2013
Bottle at James’s 4k/5k/10k tasting. Pours a clear gold with a thin white head. Smells like hard apple candies. Tangy apple over a big amount of grain. Dirty grain. Tart on the finish, with a bit of sweetness. Not terrible.

jcnielsen (840) - Kansas City, Missouri, USA - MAY 17, 2013
Bottle. Pours a hazy golden orange color with white head. Sweet, apple, white wine aromas. Strong apple flavor with some wheat in the background. Really appley, not something I would really want to have again.

Ratman197 (7618) - Arvada, Colorado, USA - MAY 6, 2013
Bottle poured a hazy gold with a lingering ring of white foam. Aromas of jolly rancher apple candy and light wheat. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of wheat, apple jolly ranchers and light yeast with a crisp finish.

NormLovesBeer (19) - Hampton, New Hampshire, USA - MAY 2, 2013
Pours a cloudy and hazy Apple Cider/Yellow color. Small White head that only lasts for a few seconds. Aroma is of a strong Apple scent. Little to no carbonation. Taste is of Sour Apple. A little light and watery, with a tart aftertaste. Not bad on a hot day. A good beer made by Shock Top. Would probably have given this one an even higher rating if there was some carbonation in it though, because tastes more like a wine cooler than a beer without the carbonation, but it’s still good!!

pablo951 (149) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - APR 28, 2013
Had it on tap at Loafers in Chicago, poured a cloudy yellow color, with a medium head and no lacing. The aroma had an apple fruity smell, and the taste was very sweet. Good on a summer day!

GL2814 (291) - New York, New York, USA - APR 28, 2013
Smells and tastes like a sour apple jolly rancher. Not bad on a hot day, but tough to have more than one or two. Tart and sweet, and full of apple flavor.

Bottle. Pale yellow pour with slight haze. Apple cider on the nose. Little weaker on the taste. Drinkable beverage but pretty gimmicky.
