This combination creates an intriguing beer with an instant apple hit. Balanced by a bitterness that Ruddles beers have become famous for.

Bottle Sainsburys, Kidlington. Thought that I had already rated this having tried the cask version of this last night, and this bottled version few weeks back. Apple flavoured beer mmhhh... it’s never really gonna’ be a winner is it? Amber coloured, with quite a fruity, zesty flavour with a bitterness at the end, ok so I sort of knew I wouldn’t like it but to fair it wasn’t as bad as I expected.

Amber colour with white fast disappearing head. Aroma of sweet apples. Some hops notes to in the aroma. Flavor is apple and hops. A refreshing beer. But i think it would be better one by one.

An orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet and dominated by apples, while the flavor mixes notes of malt and apples. Apple beer is not me - I rather keep cider and beer apart.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear amber colour with a creamy, white head. Fresh, hoppy aroma. Malty and caramelish with distincy underlying notes from the added apple juice. Dry, bitter finish. 041105

Bottle. Unpleasant apple aroma. Copper colour, no head. Flavour is roughly bitter and slight appleish. Not a good combination.
