Very nice sweet cotton candy and berry perfume on the nose. Eye is nice too; clear deeper reddish orange sangria appearance. Taste is sweet, but not as sweet as the nose and it tastes more like fruited apple cider than ale. Yes, a little tartness in there too. If I didn't see the label, I'd swear this is cider. This has got to be one of the sweeter beers I've had in a long time, really seems to be loaded with unfermented sugars. Good level of fine carbonation goes along with the tartness for a refreshing palate. Overall, even tho I can't really pick out any of the beer in here and it borders on alky laced soda pop, its not a bad brew for a domestic cider lover. There, you have it.
