This is pretty much apple juice with some malts added. Overly sweet, can’t find any cranberry. Odd acidic tart finish. Meh.

Bottle: Poured an hazy amber color ale with a large foamy head with light retention and minimal lacing. Aroma consists of grainy malt with some weird apple and cranberry notes which don’t really mix well together. Taste is a weird mix between some apple an cranberry notes with light residual sugar notes mix in with some grainy malt which results in an off –tasting beer. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Quite a mess overall and something I would stay far from in the future.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur ambrée-rosée et claire. Nez fruité sucré et aux petites notes acides (jus de pommes, léger sirop de petits fruits) et moyen de miel. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-élevé ainsi qu’une texture aux notes sirupeuses fruitées. Goût fruité sucré et aux notes acides (jus de pomme rouges, notes de canneberges, traces d’autres petits fruits) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût de grains de malt et de miel puis vient ensuite se rajouter un goût assez sucré de sirop de fruits jusqu’en fin de gorgée, où se retrouve également de faibles notes herbeuses (herbes mouillées). Post-goût moyen, sucré et aux faibles notes aigres de fruits (moût de canneberges, pelures de pommes).

Thanks to PaleAleRider for this bottle. Pours a slight hazy amber colour with a small off-white head that does creates some nice thick creamy lace. Ingredient lists: natural beer, juice freshly crushed McIntosh apple, cranberry juice and honey. It does smell like fresh apple juice with some big malt aromas of grain and roasted ones. The taste is sweet and that is where you can sense the cranberry juice. Wet mouthfeel and not much lingers. Maybe a little fruit. Not a bad fruit beer that seems more on the real side of things.
