Apple Ale sings with the fresh crisp taste of Wisconsin apples. Our Brewmaster begins with a brown ale base employing Wisconsin farmed barley and a blend of apple varieties grown in Door County. Our apple growing friends squeeze them especially for this brew. Expect this ale to pour a beautiful copper color. The fresh bouquet of apple will rise to meet you even before the glass touches your lips. So be sure to sip slowly and enjoy the fruits of a Wisconsin harvest.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 7/21/2015. Pours slightly hazy deep orange/copper color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big balanced sweet/tart apples, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, light cinnamon/spice, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Fantastic aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/bready malt, apples, and light earthy hop/spice notes; with great strength. Taste of big balanced sweet/tart apples, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, light cinnamon/spice, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate fruit tartness and light herbal/spice bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of sweet/tart apple, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, light cinnamon/spice, and herbal/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt, apples, and light earthy hop/spice notes; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from the apple acidity as well. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth, fairly creamy/acidic, and slightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4%. Overall this is a fantastic fruit beer. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt, apples, and light earthy hop/spice flavors; and very smooth and refreshing to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.

12 oz. bottle from my Secret Santa, shared at Ale Alpharetta. Pours a clear orange, with a small, bubbly, tan head. The nose is strong red delicious and gala apples, light cinnamon, white sugar, and some light caramel. Very fruity and sweet, with a light acidic tartness. Medium body, crisp, acidic, and clean through the finish. This is a very forward apple beer, but very tasty. This is what a fruit beer ought to be!

Bottle, thanks to one of my co-workers. Poured a slightly cloudy light copper yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was wonderful. Like fresh sqeezed apples, some light sweetness even comes off this one - it reminds me of quality cider. The flavor was delicious. It was like a very juicy apple juice, very fresh. Very mild caramel notes. Incredibly easy to drink, the alcohol is there, but it doesn’t get in the way, clearly.

Bottle split on the hotel patio, SD, big thanks to GT2 for gifting me this number 14/11/14. Rich amber/chestnut brown with a light beige covering. Nose is big on apple pulp, straw, light caramel, woody must, more apple juice. Taste comprises sweet apple juice, light pear and prune backnotes, caramelised brown sugar, sweet licks. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, sweet licks in the close. Ok for style but a little too sweet for me overall - full on apple orchard attack!

Bottle courtesy of GT2. Pours hazy brownish golden (actually pretty much apple must coloured) with a very small fizzy offwhite head that quickly dissipates without leaving much trace on the glass. Smell is fruity and slightly malty with graham crackers, caramel, ripe apples, cinnamon, hay and lemon peal. Taste is tiny sweet, tiny sour, fruity and slightly malty with graham crackers, apple must, cinnamon, nutmeg, moist soil, orange zest and lemon zest. Mouthfeel is crisp, sparkling, slightly tart and light bodied. Finish is tiny sour and fruity with graham crackers, smashed red apples, minerals, hay, orange zest and lemon zest. Aggressive sparkling carbonation, low sweetness, suiting tartness and tons of apple fruitiness makes up for a great fruit beer experience.
