Round like a record and smooth as a hip hop song, our apple pie-inspired brown ale flaunts a bodacious body and stunning combination of aromatic cinnamon, fragrant vanilla, and real apples. Bonita Applebum, you gotta pour me some!

Drank a few while playing poker. Ruby amber pour. Nose is apple pie and cinnamon. Tastes much the same, hints of vanilla and your brown ale nuttiness and earth. Medium bodied. Interesting seasonal.

02.05.2014, tap @ CBC:
Small creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is basically like a fresh apple pie right from the oven, sweet apples, cinnamon, sugar, raisins, vanilla. Taste is more or less the same, with some almond filling added to it. Little bitterness, slightly dry mouthfeel. Nice and very interesting.

Medium brown, aroma is spicy like a bit of cinnamon and pepper, vanilla too I swear. That character is assertive, with a little hit of apple...more like a breakfast cereal than beer. The brown ale simply does not come out enough. No balance.

Bonita apple bum, you gotta put me on. Bonita Bonita Bonita... Nobody does strange gimmick beers like funky Buddha, and they actually do it well. Apple and light pie malt. Nice balance. Tap at Churchkey.
