Bottle, as Takata Ringo Ale, from the brewery via Furusato Nozei. Apple nose, more like fresh US apple cider, with some skin, caramel, dark malts. Cloudy dark brown with a low, thick head and low carbonation. Looks like unfermented apple cider from NYS. Dry flavor, apples, chocolate, caramel, treacle. Very different to most apple beers. There is a rich UK dark beer as the base, and it works very well with the apple flavor. Kind of reminds me of a caramel apple. Very tasty.

cloudy brown and amber color. Light apple notes with just a touch of hops. Light body, moderate amount of apple character but really focused on just being refreshing. Slightly tart. Some cinnamon notes, got better as it warmed.
