Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a slight golden yellow colored body with a small white head that lasts barely three seconds.
The smell had Granny Smith apples, cinnamon with a light wheat.
The taste took the previously mentioned flavors combine with some malts to make a decent combination.
On the palate, it sat about a light, sessionable, crisp, light harshness on the tongue, apple aftertaste and finish.
Overall, this is the apple version of Shipyard’s \"Pumpkinhead.\" Even though it is a bit like an \"apple pie,\" it is easy to drink.

12oz bottle from Drum Hill Liquor, Chelmsford, MA. A cidery amber pour with a ring of white head; aroma of apple and cinnamon; the cinnamon dominates the taste - I’m not usually a big fan, but this kind of grew on me; the finish is dry and cidery with more cinnamon. I assume there is some wheat ale in there somewhere, but it’s not very apparent.

Bottle @ home via Dr. Shithead courtesy wave. Would pete. Pours a very hazy dull dark orange appearance with a cream colored head. Really heavy cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, holiday spice, apple/pear aroma. Mostly just tastes like a goddamn 7-11 apple fritter. Lightly tart. Not super hard to chug but not particularly delicious either. Not a wave.

On tap at Millers Alehouse. Pours a clear gold with small white head. The aroma is spice and apple. Thin mouthfeel with a light watery cinnamon and spice. Not much going on with this one.

(Bottle) Orangey amber colour with brief, frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with cinnamon, red apples, brown sugar, bread and hints of citrus peel. Fruity taste with notes of apples, cinnamon, wheat, white bread, honey, custard and hints of citrus peel. Low bitterness. Medium body, with a balanced sweetness. Quite interesting and refreshing but hardly exciting.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle, best by August 2013, poured into a white wine glass. Pour clear golden with small white head which dissapates quickly down to a ring around the top end to surface of beer-air interface. Little lacing, light body, low carbonation, and pilsner malt & hint of apple aroma. Taste is cinnamon, pilsner malt, some grainy wheat, and some apple. Not interested in having this again.

Kopparfärgad med lågt småbubbligt skum som snart försvinner helt. Den ser i a f ut som en öl. Stor söt kaneldoft med en liten äppleton. Tankarna går till mjuk pepparkaka, kanelgodis och äpplekräm med kanelstång och det är ju inte illa. Smaken är söt, men inte sliskig, smakerna måhända lite artificiella men en varm sommardag som idag funkar den helt okej. Hamnar i samma fålla som Timmermans fruktöl men jag tycker ändå att är snäppet bättre.
