Bottled 355ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb, shared with Marko. Darker golden coloured, small off-white head, Apfelstrudel in the nose with cinnamon of course. The beer itself is almost the same, Apfelstrudel with lots of cinnamon and pretty watery as well. Again another one that goes into "not my type of beer" category but also much better than O’fallon Which I’ve tried few minutes before.

0.355l bottle, Pivoteka, shared with ogivlado. Darker golden-amber body. Small white head. I actually dig the aroma, grandma’s Apfelstrudel, apples and cinnamon are evident. Watery taste with dry cinnamon up front, apples are mostly gone from there. Completely subdued. Some semblance of Apfelstrudel still remains, but man it’s watery, especially in the finish. No, this is not a quality beer, especially since it hints at so much more than it delivers.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a vibrant golden color with a small white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was sweet cinnamon sugar and strong apple. The flavor was sweet cinnamon sugar and apple - very much like apple pie. Long finish. Moderately full bodied. Yummy!

From tap. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is apples and cinnamon. Citrusy, zesty fruity apples. Light cinnamon dryness into the finish. Juicy apples.

Ugh, over sweet and spicy, like McDonalds apple pie filling. It even looks bad in a glass. No good.

Poured a clear dark golden color without much of a head, maybe some wisps on it. Aroma was, a bit like an apple pie - mostly some cinnamon. Apples are there, a bit tart. Flavor was sweet apple pie, cinnamon.

Bottle. Immediate smell of apple pie, that fades. Looks like any other generic beer. Cinny fer SHURRRRE. Wew, too much spice and and not enough sugar, heheeh. Aroma becomes a little metallic. Slight medicinal finish. Not impressed.
