Hazy gold beer, short lived tidy white head. Nose of puke and apples but the puke mercifully dissipates. Light crisp palate. Fresh apple juice, tastes watered down and slightly sweetened. A little papery pale malt underneath. Finishes dry with a papery aftertaste. Nice idea but the execution isn’t great. The fresh apple is nice enough but everything else is messy.

Bomber from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours hazy gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is very ripe apple. Sweet golden variety? It’s a bit thin. Carbonation is not very intense. It is crisp and clean. Flavor is very apple. Better than many ciders! Not bitter. Not really sweet. Guess they nailed their goal.

22oz bottle from Pick’s poured into a flute. Pours a light gold with slight carbonation. Aroma is strongly apple and a slight bit of cinnamon. Taste is light bitter. Kinda chalky and zero apple taste. Kinda disappointing considering how good it smelled. Medium bodied with a thin yet sticky texture. Very fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, it’s not bad. Not my kinda beer and nothing I would seek out again, but I’ll finish my glass.

Pour is a clear yellow with a small white head. Aroma is apple juice. Smells exactally like it. Flavor is bland and dull. Some chalk and no really apple stands out. Started out great with the aroma but turned into a sub par fruit ale real fast.
